I did a search but couldn't find anything, though I know someone here mentioned resealing the Harbor Freight blast cabinet.
I bought one last night and am in the process of putting it together. I have read the sealing they do at the factory is crap and I figure I'll just change the seals while its apart. What type of seals would be best? A better foam seal? Liquid seals? I have been using a free air blaster a little bit which has worked great and is a ton of fun, however very messy so I'm really looking forward to a contained unit. Any other advice before its all put together would be great. BTW, anyone interested, the unit I bought (This one) is on sale for $219 in store, couple that with one of the 20% off coupons in a car mag and you get out the door for a little over $190...not too shabby |

I just bought a cabinet from a guy on CL last night on the way home from work. Looks like the older brother to the one below. This pic shows two side doors, mine just has a door on the right side.
He gave me a 50# bucket of new media. It has a flourescent light built into it with a switch on the outside. Only thing I want to do to it is pull the window and reseal that, and about an inch of the left glove came unstitched from the arm. I'll stitch and seal that up as well. Whole setup was $100 and it looks nearly as clean as this stock photo. (IMG:http://www.kingcanada.com/Files/KSB350_HR_1169.jpg) |
