[Heathkit] Bead Blasting

[John Hensley]

You have to be careful here, particularly with perforated (sp?)metal as the blasting may "peen" the sheet surface causingwaves & distortion.  Good question for the list though.------------------------------

Has anyone tried bead blasting a Heath SB series cabinet to remove the old
paint? I have a SB-101, SB-610 and a SB-600 cabinet that have seen better
days paint-wise. Rather than sand these by hand I was thinking of getting a
small bead blaster gun from Harbor Freight and trying that.



Thanks,
