I think you're using too much media slurry
Wow is this thing cool! really neat McGuyvering!!!
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching!
Why not wipe the slurry off your gloves! 🧤 Got a bunch of it on there. 😊
Hi Josh, do you have drawings for the stainless cabinet? I’ve set up a few a vapour blasting cabinets now using the red HAFCO cabinets but finding they are rusting out too quick. I plan to make my next one out of stainless like this one. Cheers
Hey mate, Yes I do. I don't usually make a habit of distributing them though. Send me an email at josh@armouryenterprises.com to discuss. Cheers Josh.
What will be the price point of the plastic cabinet?
Hi Chris, Plastic cabinets are $6000+gst with closed loop. Cheers Josh
Hey mate, I want to try a mix of glass bead and aluminium oxide to speed things along. Have you tried this, and if so, what mesh aluminium oxide do you use?
Hey Simon, I responded by email but figured I would answer here too for anyone else wondering. I use AC grade glass beads (250-150 Micron) and Brown AO (125 - 106 Micron) at about a 50/50 mix. I have brown AO because that was what was in stock, but it clouds up the water very quickly. White may be better in this regard. Cheers Josh
Thanks for the upload. Do you have a how to build by step by step vid? For those of us that are less than technical😢!
I dont see where the advantage is over just sand or beads. Without the added extra cost of the plumbing and electrical
Can you remember what compressor this was running on?
This was on an aluminium twin cylinder 3hp unit. Rated at 12.5cfm Cheers Josh
@@ArmouryEnterprises Do you think having a shorter airhose would be beneficial on smaller compressors?
It can help, but it depends. If you have a 10m long 1/4" hose and you cut it down to 1m, it will have a small improvement. But if you have a 10m long 1/2" line, the difference would be practically imperceptible.
Save me
Where can I buy the led lights do they com in the aluminum frame.
Hi Jerry, I make these up. I have printable files on my website for the brackets. It uses rigid 500mm 12v led strips, 2 500mm led extrusion lengths, factory style plugs to suit the standard power supply. You can get the parts from Ebay/Amazon/ Aliexpress. Cheers Josh
Donyou use a slurry pump or just Syphon??
These use a slurry pump. I have tried setups that are siphon only but they seem much slower. Cheers Josh
I just can't get this finish. I'm using your 3D printed gun and a 340W Ozito submersible pump. Do you think the pump might be under-powered?
New subscriber
Thanks for the sub!
@@ArmouryEnterprisesit's ok & that engine turn out great in your video brilliant job buddy
@@RetroYamaha Hey Buddy, new account? Thanks, yeah I was pretty happy how it all came out.
What volume of pump should I use for a cabinet , the size of the red one , behind you. My budget and need i think is closer to an old dish washer pump, someone is throwing out lol.
Depends on whether you plan to run it in the cabinet or in a reservoir underneath. If you are only able to get a small pump, you don't want to have it lift too high. I usually aim at around 9000 - 18000l/h. I would recommend looking for a second hand submersible pump. You can get them pretty cheaply. You can make dishwasher pumps work, but there are a couple of restraints. The flow rate is relatively low, and they are not submersible so plumbing can be a bit more complicated.
@@joshhubbard5026That was really kind of you to take the time to share your knowledge with me. Very Happy to subscribe. Have an awesome day.
Hello, just purchased your E book, thanks. just wondering where you got the parts for the window light frame? Looked very neat. thanks Carl.
Hi Carl, Sorry I missed this message. All the parts except the corners/mounts came from Aliexpress. The corners are 3d printed. Thanks! Josh
Ich grüße dich, das Ergebnis ist verblüffend für ein selbstgebauten Gerät, was für ein Medium hast du benutzt? Grüße aus Deutschland
Hello! And Thank you! The media used is glass bead - 250-150. Thank you for watching!
Danke für die Auskunft, hab ein schönen Sonntag noch!
@@giuseppefiorito5691 No problem! You too!
❤
Why glass/window kit are you using ?. Can that be purchase of the shelf or something that custom made to suit your needs
What solenoid valve are you using on the air into the gun? Thanks 😀
Hi Stephen, It depends on the setup. Usually 1/2". The smaller setups use a water solenoid with built in check valve. The larger setups use a brass 220v solenoid with a relay circuit and 12v trigger circuit. Thanks for watching!
Is there any particular 12v valve that work best?
Looks like a different shop have you been tidying up 😂
Trying to! Still needs a lot of work. I picked the best angle to shoot the video 😄
Отличное видео. Спасибо
What is the material for vaporblasting so that it can shine? What is the soda backing used? Then how many bars is the air pressure?
This user's glass beads. 250-150 micron. I blast at 5.5bar to clean and 2.5-3bar to polish. Thanks for watching!
Very clever way to check, thank you for the tip. Something I have been struggling with the get right.
What was that top part you needed to fix? That part is making so much noise on mine now!
..generally how many hours can standard pumps work while pushing abrasives?
HI. Nice system! I don't know if you still use it after so many years. Perhaps such a pump resists less than an open one for dirty water. Do you have this experience or have you seen no difference?
Hi what do you use to stop finger marks after you have finished the job and its dry. Wayne.
Hi Wayne. Personally I just leave it. Vapour blasting with glass bead closes the surface of the material and dirt doesn't stick in the same way as it would after dry blasting. Some people will protect the surface additionally with products like ACF-50, or by applying a clear coat. Cheers Josh
Hi love the video, you mention in the video there are something to look for/avoid when choosing a pump for more commercial use. My computer is looking to start vapor blasting and we are trying to figure what components to use/buy. Main components we are struggling to figure out are gun and pump. Any information on how to go about choosing these items would be very helpful
Have you got a good earth? I'm a powder coater. If the powder isn't sticking make sure it's earthed and you've got enough powder coming out of the gun. Regards Dean
Hi Dean, Thanks for your message. Not at the now shop just yet, but at the old place there is a big copper ground rod. The newer gun I made works pretty well, its the old one I have issues with. Thanks for watching!
I have that same unit and it is a very good working media blaster, I guess it is about how it is setup and what media you use, but I would want the bigger units to do this modification, Thanks for the video,,
A press, 4 ton or better, A sturdy vise and a 24 inch pipe wrench to straighten the clamp. A propane torch to heat and loosen the rusted screw if pen. oil won't work. A 4 1/2 inch grinder and a flap disc, 120 grit. A loose wire cup wheel for the grinder. A knife edge file to clean up bad threads. No need for a blaster or any plating.
good to see u sirJOSH
Those plastic cabinets look amazing. Do you know what the rough price point will be and whether you'll be able to ship internationally?
Thanks James, Yeah these are $6k NZD, so a bit under half the price of the Stainless cabinet I do in the same size. Looking at getting them into Australia, but sorting through logistics and tax/duty atm to work out whether it will still be viable or whether it will push the price too high. If I can sort that out I will look at other countries too. Cheers Josh
@@ArmouryEnterprises Interested in an Aus export
Hi, My email address is in the video description. If you send me an email, I can keep you updated with progress on getting them to Aus. Cheers Josh
count me in sir ..@@ArmouryEnterprises
Good to see you back in action mate.!! Thanks for the update.👍🇦🇺
Thanks mate! Hope you are doing well!
looking forward to the DIY powder coating gun 🙂
Hoping to iron out the last couple of issues and have it up within the next 4 weeks or so. Thanks for watching!
what you doing molding these yourself. nice one on oven definitely wear rubber gloves using that powder coating gun tho josh
Hey mate! nah I just designed it and had it built, then did the development on it until I was happy. I have another company moulding the cabinets. New guns are fairly safe. They are pretty low amperage and comparatively low voltage too.
Do tou think the laser Rust remover Will and blast cabnet ?
That depends on the advance of the tech. Currently laser rust removal systems are still very expensive. Eventually someone will figure out how to make them cheap and at that point, entry level sandblaster will be done. Vapour blasting may hold out a bit longer but eventually laser will advance to the point that you can adjust the surface finish and will displace vapour blasters too. I hope I understood your question correctly. Cheers
Your still alive, long time no see
Yeah still here! A lot has happened in that time but keen to get back into making some content. Cheers!
Do you prefer the gun there to the Printed one?
Hi i have a audi a4 b7 BVB 1.8t . when she is cold she drives nice but when hot she jerks and . everyone seem to be scaredto work on the car
Hi Dayallan, What work have you done so far to try and resolve the issue? Have you done the usual things like replacing ignition coils/plugs? Checked for vacuum leaks?
@ArmouryEnterprises hi hope you well I did not do anything yet and want to start by replacing the PCV valve and temp sensor first. Te car really drives beautifully when cold and I use 15w40 oil as the millage is 147k on the clock
Hi, I am good, thank you for asking. Definitely check out the PCV valves but with rough running while hot, I would look at the coil packs first.
@ArmouryEnterprises I will have a look at the coils as well thanks. How does one check if it is the problem?
Does it run rough while it is idling when hot?
Hi, I was wondering if you ever changed the part and if it fixed your problem?
Hi, Yes I did. Solved the problem immediately and I assume the part had been degrading for a while because it ran much better than it had for a long time after it was changed. Thanks for watching!
bro did yuu sell e book for that sb valve and the solenoid?
Thanks for the Info I am going to give building one myself, I can't afford to keep paying for Vapour Blasting! Going to build my cabinet from Aluminium!!
What PSI u use?
Hi what thread fitting for the media mix cheers
Hi, Threaded fitting is 1/2" BSP. Cheers!
@@ArmouryEnterprises that’s brilliant what size of hose would you suggest cheers
@@projectpassion3075 depends on the size of your pump and the size of the air compressor you will use. Usually 1/2" is fine for most hobby set ups. If you are running a high flow pump and over 24cfm I would go up to 5/8". Cheers!
what a useless video, were does vapor come from? your rotten ass?
