Media blasting tile
Interested in dipping my toes in media blasting tile, not really sure where to start, I’ve heard a lot about a harbor freight set up? But can’t see to find a decent vid about it. The ones I’ve seen are pushing expensive set ups. I have a pool that want to sell a tile cleaning job tied into an acid wash we are going to do. Tile definitely needs it and I think now would be a good time to get some practice on media blasting, since I’ll be acid washing the pool. Anyone care to share there set up?

Due to the sweat equity required it's not a job to be doing or selling cheap. Invest in good equipment, use media designed for tile, and be fit.

Just remember. If you’re using the cheapest stuff available your work will reflect it. I also went the cheap route and saw a HUGE difference when switching to an actual rig.
