Need some Assistance with Sandblasting media
Does anyone know of any company near NW Indiana or Chicago Area that sells sandblasting media?
I am trying to locate some galss beads so that I can refinish my GTA wheels. The only media that I have been able to find is the black magic abrasive that menards and loews sells. That stuff is too rough for an aluminum wheel and I have done my research and was told glass beads was the way to go for aluminum rims. I can order some online, but the shipping for the 50 pound bag costs more then the media itself.
If anyone knows of any, feel free to respond.
Thanks in Advance
