Listoids,

As ssomeone who uses a beadblaster regularly on motorcycle parts let me add this
caveat;

Blasters use high pressure air and, as a natural byproduct of using compressed air,
drive moisture deep into any specimen you may clean with it. Be sure to use
moisture removal processes after any sand/bead blasting operation.
