Charles,
Yes, it does make quite a mess! Remember I use a pretty wimpy pressure =
and light sand. Full clothing and eye protection to the max. Lots of =
luck, but I think you will do just fine. Please let us know how it turns =
out.

  Joe,

  Just got back from a local rental place. The 'handy guy' gave me =
pretty
  good primer on sandblasting. Looks do-able if I don't make too much of =
a
  mess. He explained about different grades of sand (fine, medium, and
  coarse), safety (a hood with a 4' x 8' piece of glass to see through),
  and techniques. All I need is "da nerve".

  I generally try to sell my clients on the idea of replacing the =
agraffes;
  solves a lot of future problems. And, yes, I reshape the V-bar while =
the
  plate is inverted during the pin block fitting phase.

  Thanks again,

  Charles
