Re: SANDBLASTER

As far as material reuse. I bought a roll of aluminum window screen and fold it about 4-6 times and clamp it to the top of a bucket and pour material on screen. Really works well to keep the pine needles out as well as most everything else. Always filter if you re use. Also make sure to have a water...
