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 |
