Anyone have a blasting cabinet?

I posted in the Cambria County thread but figured I'd post it here too in hopes I can find what I'm looking for.

As the title says I'm trying to find someone with a blasting setup to use for a few minutes, or pay you to do it in the Johnstown, Altoona, Bedford, Somerset, Mcconnellsburg, or other surrounding areas to blast a 10/22 receiver and trigger housing.

Do you have any friends that work in a body shop? Many have blast cabinets they may let you use.

The only thing I would HIGHLY caution is to note receiver is aluminum, be very careful. Tape off everything on the inside you don't want blasted, there could be damage to areas where your parts fit.

Personally I wouldn't use anything more abrasive than walnut myself, maybe glass beads on a small test area first.

gun-kote recommends aluminum oxide as an abrasive. I was just going to blast with less air pressure and hope for the best. If only where i worked didn't use steel shot to blast stuff.
