Dang it! I give people crap about responding to the dead all the time too!

As I said I knew I was bringing up the very old thread. I found it when I was trying to find opinions about sandblasting edges. I read it as "no good", "won't work" or something close but still wanted to try and it was not as bad as others said in reply to the OP.

It may still not work for the OP with painted edges but it is working for me using a fine sand on laser cut out pieces. They are no simple geometrical shapes so sanding them with sandpaper takes a lot of time while sandblasting them takes no time at all. Actually it is so good that it will save me a lot of time in the future.
