Designs and Plans to make your own PABlaster:

 I have seen this everywhere online... What is a PA-Blaster ???

The "PA" in PABlaster stands for "Pressure Assist" or the ability to control two atmospheres when sandblasting providing you with a no-clog system that can go for hours-on-end (depending of course on the amount of media your container can hold.) a 60-gallon storage container for example can go for hours and be used by one person providing you limitless time in removing rust from your object instead of clearing the blockage like most industry units today have a problem with.

button By all rights it is just plain "COMMON SENSE":
Feed the correct amount of air into the high-pressure side of the average sandblasting Gun (90-120 psi) and at the same time regulate how much media is thrown into the stream.
- As your pressure-levels increase add the ability to adjust this media stream and STOP or START as needed making is SAFE and you have just made a PABlaster.

button What started this "PABlaster" idea? :
At first it was designed specifically for the the home-shop DIY person like myself who has limited funds to start with and plenty of vintage car parts that needed extreme rust removal.
IE: My 1931 Chevy

button How good does it work ? :
The PABlaster is unique as it works on HIGH or LOW pressure. This means anywhere from 40 to 135-psi (depending on what the output of your compressor can handle). You can clean rust off steel, remove paint from soft wood and even etch glass or blur chrome in preparation of powder-coating all with the same unit.

button What skills are needed to build a PABlaster? :
If you can glue PVC you can make a PABlaster. If you can weld even better!
. - Mig-welding is fairly easy to learn and I'm sure you know of at least one person who knows how to do it and has the system in his/her garage already. - Thus if you can weld even a little then you can make a large steel version PABlaster.

button How BIG or SMALL can I make my PABlaster? :
Size matters! - If your doing something small like glass-etching coffee cups it could be as small as 10-gallons. If your doing the entire sheetmetal body of a Hotrod then I would go with a 20, 60 or even an 80-gallon unit. - Anything bigger would depend on your needs.
- the largest one made to date is a 60-gallons and the smallest was just 5-gallons. - Both still worked flawless no matter the size. - It's the ability to control the system that makes it work so well.

button Powder Coating you say? - If you read this website close and made it to this line you can join my powder-coating group HERE for FREE - Sandblasting and powder-coating go hand in hand for the most part as one is a preperation for the other to have excellent results because of the bare steel it can now stick to when using a PABlaster.

button FREE STUFF ! - The plans include TWO FREE sets of blasting cabinet designs that you can make from plywood with all dimensions drawn-out for you to see in the photos area. (The photos area is now almost FULL at 93%)

button Is there others making PABlaster's?:
YES ! - Long ago in the beginning stages I had started a moderated YahooGroup you can join where the information on sandblasting and powder-coating does not end. - Be it big or small, plastic or metal, either me or one if my members has made a PABlaster out of it.
- This group is FREE ONLY to buyers of the plans and is well moderated to prevent spam or bashing of other members and follows a strict 4-strike RULE as noted in the files area. - It's not some "all famous hidden group" - But it is hidden from the Yahoo Driectory. This is just a way to keep a collective of great people without all the SPAM.

UPDATE: As of 11-5-06 we are now a group of 1,000 incredible DIY people with three moderators watching each and every post on a daily basis.
