Default Glass Bead Media

Does anybody know where I can get some glass bead media for the best price. I have a TPI intake and some wheels I want to bead blast before I sell them.

Thanks

Just to let people know I just went to harbor freight and they have the glass bead media there for 18.99 for 25lbs. It should be about the same price as the other companies with shipping.

I'll have to get it from there next time. Great price. No stores close to me thought. Closest is over an hour away.

I have bought from Tractor Supply and Harbor Freight. Pretty much the same grade and TS is alittle cheaper. HF is the only place to buy course blast sand though, its like $8 for a 50lb bag.

I have used swimming pool filter sand for coarse blasting. Several grades are available and you should be able to get it most anywhere. Be careful of their coarsest grade. it is REAL coarse.

Where did you guys get your blaster at?

I'm looking into getting one but I'm not sure on the cost of one big enough to do a set of LT headers.

I'm gonna go check out Harbor Freight this weekend and maybe they'll have one in stock I can look at.
