Re: Introduction and questions of a DIY nature

Not trying to hijack the thread.
Doug, I've had experience with some very old saral paper, graphite in color, leaving behind some residue. The box says it can be erased like graphite, but on 1shot it just doesn't work. Any tips?

Thank you Mike for posting that. It may come in handy. However, it is not what I was searching for. I've seen somewhere, a photo of a homemade blasting booth made from wood. It was a free standing unit with a compressor and pressure pot underneath the blasting chamber. I thought I had seen it here. ...
