Did the blaster come with an assortment of rubber ends, for corners flats and the like. We use these as they are great for small areas and much more effective than wire brushes ans rust converters. Must admit we use kiln dried sand, which is okay if you use the correct face mask. If you use the blaster on an inclined panel then this will cut down the amount of mess. Good luck with your new toy!! :D :D

Nice tip Steve, this looks like the ideal tool for dealing with the localised rust bubbles starting to appear under my rear screen (the lip of the roof panel). :)

Chris,
I,ve got the same problem. Rear screen seal was leaking and water got between the roof / boot surround panel. Tried allsorts to get rid of it, but it keeps coming back. Even thought about trying to run Kurust or simmilar in from top [same path as water]
Ian.
