Just an FYI for folks out there. You can get much cheaper crushed walnut than the pet store variety (and often also less dusty). IF you have a real sandblasting supply place in your AO you should be able to get a 50lb bag of good, pretty low dust bag of crushed walnut for $20-$22/$25. Last time I got some here, which was a couple years ago, it was like $19 or so.

What you want will be labeled 12/20 or as a backup, the finer 20/40 grit crushed walnut. You need a real industrial sandblasting supply place, not Home Depot or general hardware store, which might have 2 different metal oxide type grits for sandblasting.

I used to buy it and rebag it into 5lb bags and resell it to those who wanted to buy everything from me.

And if you are in the SLC UT area, the place I was buying from is called "Blast Products" around 600N in SLC, right W of I15.
