We have a professionally built vapor blaster where I work. It runs about 30% media to 70% water. It also uses a small hose back into the reservoir to keep the water/media mix agitated which really helps with minimising blockages. It has a windshield wiper for the viewing screen with a constant clean water trickle and a clean water hose for rinsing parts inside the cabinet.
How much did yours cost? I’m afraid to ask, because since I’m asking you for the record, I probably couldn’t afford it! 😮
what brand
I’ve been hoping you’d eventually get some kind of media blasting cabinet. They are a major timesaver, especially for we OCD clean freaks. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
Try polishing the inside mirror and then treating it with rain X
Inside part of the window is what I meant
The ultimate OCD machine
@@calosgonzalez7157 YES! Rain X is a great suggestion, I'm sure it would help lots!
I have the same cabinet and the black cap on the left side is for a shop vac which takes the vapor away so you can see better. I also replaced the plexiglass with glass and a better nozzle. The cabinet leaks unless you seal it better, I did that when I built it. There is a boat windshield wiper on amazon I put on my side by side that would work on the cabinet. I also use either rain-x or ceramic spray to keep the glass clear. The cabinet is harbor freight. I am also a retired USAF crew chief , F-4,A-7 and F-16. I retired from the 162nd across the street. I enjoy your humor and tech knowledge.
Yeah. This unit is made by Central Pneumatic and sold at Harbor Freight for $230. Here in Phoenix. I hope Sarah got some extras to go along with it to pay $400 for a used one.
When it comes to silicosis, nothing is overkill.
Except this uses 80 grit glass beads suspended in water and silicosis is due to long term inhalation of fine silica dust isn't it?
Absolutely true! Having a water slurry is great - there's no dust to breathe. But I wouldn't want to breathe that vapor anyway. FWIW, it looks like it may have been converted from an old sandblasting unit.
@@capt_beefheart4159 ya, definitely looks to be an HF blast cabinet. Looks identical to mine.
Overkill is my favorite kind of kill.
There is no dust. The only emission is water vapor which can be controlled
Hints...
Don't blast straight down (90*), try it more of a 45.
Grab a wide strip of flashing, bend it into a big arc and screw it to the inside of the door. It'll deflect the slurry from hitting the seal at the bottom.
Was going to mention that you pressure is too high, but you got it! High pressure just explodes the glass beads when they hit.
Good idea
Kinda like painting eh?
FYI, vapor blasting does a great job of cleaning old rubber parts and plastics too. I've had an industrial built blaster for about 8 years and NEVER regretted the cost. It's paid for itself during my motorcycle restorations! Glad to see you finally have one!
I predict this new machine will be getting a lot of use!
Absolutely, it’ll probably be in a lot of videos.
I am sure you are aware, but really clean x3 any engine part before assembly.
Change out the media between ferrous and nonferrous metals.The ferrous metals will pollute the media with rustable partials if you bast aluminum whit it it will imbed into the surface, that will discolor the aluminum over time.
You can add a magnet in the slurry to attract the ferrous metal
We have gathered to witness the cleaning of the car parts - miracle. Glad to have found the right bunch 👍
Thank you for teaching me stuff
Thank You Scientific Sarah for being overly cautious with your health. Nice machine.
Yes! I'm sure Sarah will clean everything up immediately afterwards, but there's probably silica in the water that leaks out and if it dries up before cleaning it can leave dust around the shop maybe? I'm no expert but better safe than sorry, seal that cabinet 😀
I like the Beavis and Butthead laugh when looking into the pets washer with the added light. Nice.
Parts not pets. Fkn Steve Jobs.
I can’t wait to see the OCD opportunities on upcoming builds!
Love the swipe at TikTok! 👍👍
I am glad that you found a deal on a small cabinet prompting you to go for it sooner than later.
You never fail to provide a quality and informative video.
tip from experience with the same unit, seal all the seams of the cabinet, not just mine but most of what i hear is that they like to leak a little bit (may not be enough to bother you but it bothered me)
The new parts cleaner looks fantastic. A huge timesaver.
Sarah, easy way to clear the feed hose is, while your hands are in the machine take your left gloved hand and place it over the spray nozzle (blocking flow) and give a squeez of the trigger or two then continue cleaning the parts.
Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it.
Add a few drops of Jet Dry (yes, the dishwasher stuff) or other surfactant. It makes the water "wetter".
Always entertaining! What a fun video! Great addition to your shop.
Hey Sarah just a thought. Perhaps you can keep a small shower squeegee in the cabinet and wipe the glass when needed. Love your vids! 👍🏻
Most cost effective solution
Awesome piece of kit, good to see your recycling good equipment Sarah, don't worry I always watch all of your videos 👍👍
I had the same cabinet. I switched to real tempered glass and it made a huge difference. Added LED lights
Can’t wait to see the upgrades and work you do to this new tool. You’re already getting your money’s worth for sure!
An awesome tool for the queen of clean!!!
Ceracote is cheaper than powder coating. Have a look at that for sealing up your blasted bits. To flush the hose . drop the pump into a bucket of clean water and blast, when you finish. It'll give the cabinet a washdown inside as well.
You're right, it is awesome. Thank you for showing us a reasonable alternative to the industrial units, and please keep sharing what you learn. Enjoying your journey - Thanks for the inspirations!
Rainex on the inside of the dry glass before use will bead the spray and make it easier to see. A side draft blower over the glass would blow the beads away.
It didn’t help, I did off camera but it has damage from the glass beads (previous use) and it made it look worse.
Yeah thank you Sarah for a great new video
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
I’ve seen vapor blasters before, but never the finished pieces having been cleaned. That is an amazing piece of hardware. I’m impressed with the look of the parts that were cleaned. Who needs new?
This is like brand new - makes used parts look like they came out of the factory! 👍
Thank you Sarah!
You can be beautiful, goofy and a nerd at the same time and it all works. Stay genuine pretty lady.
Just what Sarah needed! Something to clean parts with.
This is awesome! I'm so glad you got a vapor blaster! Such a cool machine! I love your content, and your quirkiness, so I always watch to the end of every video. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into everything you do! Your attention to detail is second to none!
Sarah. Try using Rain X on glass.
It works well to shed water.
I use it for windshield on a motor yacht that gets hit hard with wave spray and especially if a wiper quits.
Available at parts stores.
Excellent video of the blast cab.
I just use Zymol. As long you work it til streaks gone, works perfect for months.
AquaPel...
Yep I was thinking Rain-X too. That would help a LOT.
Actually I was thinking auto grade ceramic coating
I drive a tour bus for a living and had the wipers go out once. I stopped and put Rain X on my side of the windshield and it worked even better than the wipers did when they worked. amazing stuff.
works fantastic!
Love how much time you spend on detailing everything.
Thanks for the video Sarah and Angel 🌻🐧
Blasting cabinets are so awesome. Even the cheapest thing can be so nice to restore stuff and a time saver.
Glass beads are great but aluminium oxide is what you need when something needs something more abrasive.
As for the ratio, you want a slurry between 15% to 25%of media particulate by volume.
CNC milling machines sometimes have rotational windows. Its just a glass disk that spins really fast and the inertia wipes the fluid outwards.
These windows are really resilient and slim to mount.
This girl is a treasure.
Is TH-cam shadow banning a compliment? This should have way more upvotes.
I’ll correct you on this. This is no girl. This my friend is the perfect woman😎
Glad to see you finally have a vapour blaster. This will suit your drive for cleaniness perfectly.
That thing does an awesome job!
I always like your videos before I watch them and I am never disappointed.
You're the best Sarah!
Excellent construction of what will be a much-used device.
Yep. Like how you mounted up that regulator. And nice add to the shop!
This video was a blast!
Smart person I have the exact same polisher and it works great
This is my favorite channel hands down!
Awesome new toy. Very Cool.
Sarah, I've been watching your videos for a while now (LOVE the humor, especially the risque stuff ;) but I'm just amazed at the knowledge you have about a great number of things. Just really impressed that you've learned so much, especially at such a young age. But your videos are impressive, to say the least. Thanks again.
Get a cheap squeegie, like for a shower, and put it inside the cabnet. you can use it to clear the glass window as needed while using the cabnet.
That’s just amazeballs ❤
That’s a pretty nice blaster. Looking forward to the upgrades. 👍🏾
Thank you Sarah!
Heat shields are typically Aluminized steel for its reflective properties. I used to sell it to the stampers in Indiana and Michigan that dealt with the Big Three (Ford, GM, Chrysler).
Ah! Nailed it, that’s exactly what it was.
My mom had a Northstar V8. Her mechanic said the motor was siezed. I took the serpentine belt off and the motor turned freely. The AC compressor was siezed, prevent the motor from turning over. I just got a shorter belt, by passed the AC, and sold the car as is.
Living the dream now.
How many would love to have a shop or even a garage to house our favorite toys. Enjoy!
Cool, A wet sand blaster..very cool.
I might try that. I have access to an unused sand blast cabinet. Very cool! Thanks, Sarah!
This is a GREAT project!
I've seen people use a water repellent spray on the windshield when the wipers were not working. I guess it would work on the glass of your new fav machine too. Shan't keep you any longer. Toodle pip for now.
much enjoyness and infofilling
Great show ❤
thank you both for the vidz
Sarah, cut and mount a light in the top of the vapor blaster so it doesn’t block the view area. Silicone it in.
Great job Sarah and Angel the wonder worker!
That was a blast.
From Newfoundland you are my favorite channel. Love your work ethic. You are around the same age as my kids. Keep up the awesome vids
Right up your ally Sarah bravo
A foot peddle controlled rinser for that window would be nifty to rig up.
I am in Love with Grams Ranger I watched every video on the rebuild Excellent Job Sarah
As you cover labels on your parts you can get clear plastic sheets to use on the inside of the viewing window, so as not to have to wind up micro meshing it later. You are awesome and so is Angel !! So enjoyable watching your videos! 🙂
That's awesome Lady
Like said below, you need to hit the part at an angle, but also from further away (like at least 4 inches). It's even more important with glass beads! 😉
Sarah is in her Happy Place!
all I can say is Sarah fixes stuff and is quite impressive
Yes, wet blasting is pretty special..
Ive been doing this for several months on mostly motorcycle parts, it works and looks much better if you blast dry with the same glass beads first, it also keeps you from having to change out the vapor media as much.
I had the same cabinet and you can put any seal between the two halves to stop water leakage. And put the replaceable plastic shield on the glass to save it from being hit from the water.
Great video Sarah ! Love the potato cam !! 🤣😂🤣❤️
Congrats on the new toy! I knew you would get one someday.
How am I just finding your channel now, this is on my frequency. Well done 👏
After blasting ALUMINIUM paint with clear it looks great used to do that with my drag car in the 1970s.
Might be worth making a vent to prevent the cabinet from pressurising (leading to leaks).
An oil bath oil filter on the vent will catch any particles that are blown out.
The bottom is a drain for media and water, no pressure.
I sha'n't miss any of your videos, Sarah. 🙂
Sarah, you are such a trooper - i stay amazed to your dedication. You are always in content mode. I bet you think out loud even when the camera isn't rolling. :) Great stuff. Rock on.
I have got the exact same blasting cabinet, but only use it with dry blasting media. Different media for different purposes (for instance glass beeds for glossie finisch, or nutshells for elektric parts or delicate carburator parts)
What i deed was to silicone al of the inside gaps and used a thicker joint tape on the door. Works perfectly.
For a very fine cleaning I use a blast gun that has the container on top and fill it with baking soda. They cost like $30.00.
I think you have a new favorite tool. 👍🏻
It just needs a wiper blade setup. Perfect!
A magnetic fish tank cleaner might be of use for cleaning the glass. Modify it a little and you could build a wiper mechanism on the outside of the vapour blaster unit.
your attention to detail and OCD are amazing,
I'm glad it stands up to your exacting standards! I am sure you will become intimately acquainted with it in the coming weeks. Nice job as always.
I have one for bead blasting. To replace the glass I use glass shelving and to protect the glass on the inside I use the plastic for overhead projectors that you write on, then I use the two sided tape used to put plastic around window frames to keep cold air out. The plastic film comes on rolls for cheap. To clean your nozzle out hold your hand over the nozzle and squeeze the trigger a couple times. The back pressure cleans out the nozzle and hose.
Vapor honing cabinets are really cool. I've been watching Rebuild Rescue here on the tubes, and they have been able to save a lot of airplane parts because of it.
Great episode. You need to keep the slurry mixing to prevent from settling and causing clogs
