    way too expensive for me. the set up is very expensive. acrylic can be recycled so it is one of the best. corn starch is another good media. it is the same moh hardness as soda. 2.0-2.5 .

    Shine, what is "Buzz Bombed"? Not familiar with that term.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Shine,are you talking small plastic beads,what we call plastic media blasting?? Thats kool stuff..Had a few bits done that way some years ago,and was impressed with it..No one around here does anything like that..just sand/garnet blasting,and boy,there are a few butchers who dont know/care about quality too..Never heard of corn starch method..dry or wet?? Saw a bug eye sprite at Rod Millens place 20 years ago,that had been done with walnut shell..that was a nice clean finish..
