Head's a shed
So.. Shot blasting, I'm after some advice.
I currently have a bulkhead that wants repairing, which I will send for galvanising once done. But before I start repairing it I would like to get it shot blasted to see if it's any worse than I can see.
Does anyone have any experience of the cheapo blast pots on ebay?
I'd usually just pay to have it blasted, but I'm looking for another project which will mean lots more blasting of parts, axles, bulkhead, brackets etc.. before sending for galv again.
I like to be able to do everything myself to save time sending stuff out, so it makes sense to me to try and buy a blasting setup.
My worry is that they will be painfully slow compared to professional setup and may be better just paying someone.
I'm not adverse to spending good money (but not silly or I might as well just pay for it to be done) if it's going to save me time/money in the long run.
Advice/experiences/thoughts please
