Oh well. What's done is done. The risk is not that the sand blasting will hurt it. The risk is that if the balancer is old/rusted enough to need sand blasting, the rubber is probably old and may have shifted causing the balancer to not run true. Old balancers just don't work for high performance applications.

I wouldn't have done that either. If I was to do something like that, probably would have used a very light media, e.g. baking soda, etc. Depending on how badly it was rusted could be a very good indicator of it either needing to be replaced like mentioned above, or neglect of the car.
