glass beads what size

[Gunslinger1LA]

Hi all, what size glass beads do you find works best on BB finish?any recomendations on air pressure? what about alum.oxide blasting? seems faster to me. TIA

depends on if the steel is hardened...but the guys at Strider use garnet (I think).. the coase beads cut the quickest...and look good, you have to have a nice finish to bead blast over, and dont breath the dust, very very bad......the pressure, the more the better, but most compressors have a 125lb limiter on them.
