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 |

A good blaster vaccum is also going to be needed and you might want a catch box (reclaimer) to collect the sand or beads that the vaccum source draws into the air path that will allow you to recover the media. It will have a dump valve on it and is just a box that is inline with the vaccum. I use at least 28 cfm at 100-120 psi on my cabinet. Really no matter how hard you try there will be dust and media on the floor around the cabinet. Just from changing the media from one type to the other will spill some and my door always drops some when you open and close it. You will probably want to get some stickon clear window shields. My friend just buys extra glass windows but I change the stick on shields. I use my cabinet way more than he does. I use Scat Blast products But I also started before hf was around. I used to just run two 5hp 120psi 17.5 cfm compressors while I was blasting and only used one for normal stuff. Also as the media gets really used up it will make a lot more dust in the cabinet.
