  • Not that reflective
I bought these for reflectivity and tried them a variety of ways including gluing them on and painting. Applying a heavy layer of paint then pouring the beads on works best. They are not nearly as reflective as a stop sign.

  • Even at low PSI the balls broke super quick…
Not the best quality beads….Despite blasting them at only 30-40psi. Also they really should include a plastic tub instead of a cardboard box so that you have a place to store the beads whenever you change the media.

  • Grit size
A friend gave me an air compressor so I bought a media gun for it so I could strip paint from an old cabinet we inherited. I've never done this before so I'm trying different kinds of blasting media. So far I found that media is sized like sand paper - the bigger the number the finer the grain. The glass beads were too fine so I just bought some coarser grit that I haven't had a chance to use yet. ... show more

  • Glass Beads
It didn't work for what I needed it for, but it probably would be great for wood, to get a soft sanding

  • Works great, beads still intact
I started with too fine of a bead, then I switched to this, worked great for removing old finishes.
