CORRECTION
Verify sufficient air supply to tool. Minimum requirement = 12 CFM @ 90 PSI.
Use air supply line of 3/8" or greater.
Limit air supply line to 25' or less.
Replace suction hose. Automotive fuel or heater hose works well.
Check for and eliminate source of moisture in air line and blast gun.
Install a moisture separator capable of removing all moisture and impurities
from the air supply.

inches in media. 50 lbs. of media is generally sufficient.
