REFLECTOR: sand blasting

[Milton Mersky]

  Doug:

  I think the use of sand to blast is not politically correct.
  Walnut shells came about when blasting metal skin. The force of the sand 
etches the skin. Walnut shells do not.
  THe steel mount will accept any blasting material.

  > My motor mount has a few specs of rust peaking through the paint, so I'm 
going to strip it and paint it. I read something about stripping paint with 
walnut shells instead of sand blasting. I couldn't find anything in AC 43.13 
about that. Is there any reason why I shouldn't strip the paint of my motor 
mount by sand blasting it?
