What pressure do you need for sand blasting?
100 PSI
You should use a tank with a minimum of 100 PSI for optimum efficiency with any abrasive sandblasting project. If you work with a lower PSI, you’ll add a significant amount of time to your project. If you reduce your blasting pressure by half, your pressure cleaning project will take four times as long.
Can I use my pressure washer as a sand blaster?
Application: pressure washer sandblaster kit works for abrasive cleaning. Great for removing rust, graffiti, paint, baked on grease. Pressure washer sand blasting attachments use dry silica sand, baking soda or washed and dried river sand.

These blast pots are pressurized tanks that allow blasting grit into the main blasting line. Abrasive blaster pots are also used in wet blasting.
What CFM compressor do I need for sandblasting?
An air compressor which produces between 10CFM – 20 CFM is ideal for smaller sandblasting tasks. While a compressor which produces between 18CFM to 35 CFM is better for larger jobs where a more powerful experience is needed. While an industrial type of sandblasting needs a CFM of 50 – 100.
Can you sandblast with water?
Dry sandblasting uses air that is highly pressurized together with abrasives. Wet sandblasting uses water that is high-powered together with material that’s abrasive or sand. The two methods do the same work of cleaning any surface. Sandblasting is very powerful compared to sandpapering.
How does a pressure pot Blaster work?
Pressure Vessel/Pot blasters where the blasting media is put into a pressurized chamber and pressure fed into the air stream and out the nozzle, and siphon where the blasting media is siphoned (using the venturi effect I think) into the air stream. It’s amazing how effective blasting is at cleaning things.
