Message	:or just the ones that spray everywhere and don't contain the media. :Thanks the cabinets are a god send. get one that can fit a plenum or a 17-19" rim and you should be able to blast everything in sight with no troubles. the cabinet we used was too small for the plenum, so we did it on a stack of firewood. It made a hellacious mess (that we didn't clean up). We also had to suit up in tyvek suits and saranwrap our faces...etc..etc... more trouble then it has to be if you get a decent cabinet. Check Ebay. I've researched em there. a 5gallon pressurized tank that holds the media is perfect. (you do need compressed air, obviously, for any blasting). Ebay also has cabinets for decent deals too. In conclusion, I would HIGHLY recommend investing in a blasting cabinet. ^^stolen from another site^^
