  1. I had actually went through my issues before your post... Thats why I returned the Blaster.  Once I read your post I was angry at myself...  But I just had some spare time rand decided to give the little blaster a go. 

    On this one I didnt use a cabinet.  I am looking at building one though.  My problem was that the hood I was wearing was fogging up and I couldnt see!


  2. After purchasing a compressor, pressure pot, and misc other materials for blasting and having no luck with it working-AND after returning the pressure pot- purchasing a smaller gun- with no luck of that working, I finally just purchased a small air brush type blaster.  Come to find out my problems with the pressure pot was my blasting media.  I was using walnut shells because that is all that was available at the time, and it was clogging the pressure pot and the gun.  So now I have tested my blaster using AO and I think I can like this!  

    I blasted a 10" heart onto a large scrap mirror.  Now onto something that I intend to keep!

  3. Interesting.  It would be something nice to try.  Although it does seem to me that there would have to be a lot of people involved to make it worthwhile.  I had tried to start an FTP location a while back, but only 5 or so people participated, and after all of the graphics they had were shared the pool dried up. 

    I could see this being better though because all you would have to do is select the folders where you keep your graphics and then only share those. 


  4. It is sad.  Me and the wife were looking for a good art store and we found this one a few weeks ago.  When we went in yesterday the employees had just found out about them closing.  Although at the store by me it seemed most of the paints were on sale...


  5. It really depends on some of the images I from what I have seen.  I use a toss up of Illustrator and VM 50/50.  Most of the stuff I do in VM is from Hand drawn graphics.  On this one I used advanced mode and then after it was vectorized I spent about 10 minutes cleaning it up within VM.


  6. I have fooled with it for two days!  It seems that the hose to the nozzle keeps getting jammed.  I did have it flowing for about two minutes, but it wasnt enough pressure with the air flow 100% open...  My compressor is brand new and pushes enough, so I have ruled out that.  The only thing I can think of is that the pot is clogging up somewhere I havent seen.  I have taken it completely apart twice, and I am ready to just fill it with High explosives...  :thumbsup:
