This is the Blast Media, Ground Glass, Nominal Dia. Micron Range 425 to 710, Nominal Dia. Range 0.0165 In. to 0.0278 In., US Sieve 25-40. I got 53 lbs of this but it is not really what I wanted. Below are pics. It feels gritty about like sand. It is not as fine as the other kind I had been getting but still is not any bigger than sand.
It looks usable though.
It isn’t round beads is it? Still okay in the limbs isn’t it.
That should be fine in the limbs and head. I bought some that too small, as well, and that’s what I do. For the body, I use stainless steel shot.
The size is not a concern to me because the bead I have been using is actually a little smaller but it is perfectly rounded looking. I got out my magnifying loop and looked at them under it. These are not all perfectly round. The best way I know to describe it is that it looks like glass but it is shaped like sand. I rubbed a little between my fingers and it did not cut me but it feels very gritty. I would feel better if it were totally round. I called Zoro and asked them what the return policy is since the paperwork said I had a 30 day return or exchange policy. I explained to the lady what I wanted glass for and said I was not sure if I could use this or not. She gave me a refund minus the shipping fee and told me not to bother returning the glass that I could do whatever I wanted with it. So it only cost me $5, LOL! I have to say that was excellent customer service! Once my refund is processed I still want to order some that are more bead like.
You can’t beat that!
As long as it is not sharp I would not worry about it. If you can rub it between your fingers without cutting yourself it will be fine in limbs.
I wish I had some of you here to look at it with me and help me decide if it would be ok in the limbs. As far as size goes I put the small stuff in vinyl gloves and then put the gloves down in a trouser hose and put that inside the body. I just want to determine if this would cut through the glove or vinyl limbs.
These are the ones I get from http://www.ebay.com/itm/121812881031?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Uploading… I tried to get a good photo but this is the best I can get they are round glass beads.
That’s weird… it must not be the type that I get after all.
That looks more like the ones I had previously gotten from Walmart and had been using. They are nice I was just wanting something larger.
you can order from the link I posted that is size 3 but they sale size 1 which is the biggest size glass bead made they do cost more though.
I have decided I do not want to use this crushed glass I have. I have not found anyone around here who sandblasts that I could donate it to. If anyone wants some of this you can message me and I will send you whatever you want as long as you pay shipping fees on it plus PP fees.
