Afternoon, The price difference between various suppliers seems to vary considerably so thought I would ask if anybody has a recommended supplier in the Essexshire area that can either deliver or is close enough to Chelmsford for me to collect. Could get it from eBay but a bit wary as to the quality etc. Ta. P.  |

Paul,
Last time I tried I couldn't find any where local, I found the pressure pot blaster worked best with a fine - medium grade, the course stuff just blocked it all up, if you are only after a bag or 2 sometimes the blasting outfits will sell you a bag if you need more they generally want the work (probably not much more cost than buying grit in smallish quantities) the last place I used was Halls near Horndon on the Hill, a nice bunch of guys and a reasonable price. (£25 for a cast iron radiator), they also do zinc spraying etc.

Thanks Kevin. My local Jewsons think they may be able to supply me with a couple of bags - will find out tomorrow. Either that or eBay! P. |

People do use kiln dried sand but this can be worse than regular glass for silicosis, do it outside and wear a decent mask would probably be OK for a one off job.

Use sand at your own risk.

As someone mentioned above, we get ours from the place that blasts our shells. Sells us a bucket full so we can do our own parts.
