Media blast material
 
I think I'm going to pick up a small portable media blast unit to do some "touch ups" on the Cuda. After doing alot of metal work etc theres a fair amount of surface rust in some of the "nooks and crannies" that are difficult to get to....like the welds along the SFC's etc.....

Much of the car is in bare metal, so its not like I'm stripping the entire car/removing paint/bondo etc.....just some small areas that are just kinda hard to get to with a sanding disk and I want to make sure are all clean before I epoxy over them.

I'm not planning on doing the large panels (doors, quarters etc).... I'll just sand those down. It will mostly be the frame, suspension, undercarriage etc.......

So....any recommendations on the type of media to use? I'd rather not spend a ton of $$ on media material.

glass silica beads, around #6. nothing else really removes rust as good, and should be fine enough not to cause any damage
