4.2 Abrasive
Abrasive Size: The POWER GUN utilizes common abrasives that are 1.6mm and finer.
Limited air supply, low blast pressure, or heavy abrasive may limit abrasive to smaller sizes.
Use only abrasives specifically manufactured for blast cleaning, that are compatible with
the surface being blasted. Abrasive produced for other applications may be inconsistent
in size and shape, and produce an unsatisfactory finish. Some abrasive may contain salts,
corrosives, or other materials that could contaminate the surface being blasted.
