Does anyone know if it is possible to rent a sandblaster? If so, where? I am in the Santa Clara, CA area and only need one for a little while. I have an air compressor to run it. Anyone have one that I can borrow?

Brad is right (wow how many times is that phrase uttered here) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) . You have to have an industrial grade compressor to operate a sandblaster efficiently. They do make spot blasters that can operate on smaller volumes of air but they don't work well and don't hold a great amount of media. Look kinda like a paint gun or a wagner power painter.
Sandblasting won't work very well with what you are trying to do. They are good for stripping paint and rust but that is about all. I think you will just end up with a sandy-gooey mess. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Oh yea if that wasn't all you were going to do with it and are going to get a blaster anyway. Get the smallest one possible and do not get just regular silica sand, get a product called Black Beauty. It has extra goodies in it that work much better than plain silica.
