Cheapest DIY Vapor Blaster Guide | How To Build The Ultimate Budget Vapour Hone In this video, I show you how to make your own vapour hone on a budget. Here is a list of the parts along with links: 150l 14CFM Compressor: https://ebay.us/e97mVI 220L Blasting Cabinet: https://ebay.us/99kmWK Smaller 90L Blasting Cabinet: https://ebay.us/QGWEzH Dirty water pump: https://ebay.us/YE8OJW Blast nozzle: https://ebay.us/cTrvow One way valve: https://ebay.us/Hda5aW T-connector: https://ebay.us/OQQPr8 Air tap: https://ebay.us/HsRFre 6 Gallon bucket: https://ebay.us/g3HIgN Glass Bead Media 25kg: https://ebay.us/zmYSjB Alu Oxide Media 25kg: https://ebay.us/YKa6hE LED IP65 Baton Lighting; https://ebay.us/VUNZ0b The main idea of a Vapour Hone is for the water to partly cushion the impact of the media. Although it will still clean the surface of the item it will not cause any damage to it. Using the right type of grit the stream of media and water can be used to give an almost polished finish. The back bone of the wet blasting system is a Dirty Water Pump. A Dirty Water Pump is usually used for draining ponds or flooded basements. It is called dirty water because besides the water that comes through the pump, it also will allow small stones and sand to go through the pump. This is great for pumping water along with grit to use it as a vapour hone. The pump I use is a 400w pump, the will put 10,000 litres per hour through it. This is ideal for the type of vapour blasting that I want. The flow from the pump goes to a t connector so that half of the flow goes to the blast nozzle, but the other half goes to a hose that is used to agitate the media in the bucket. It is important that you do this because , if the media isn't agitated it will drop down the bottom of the the bucket, and wont be sucked up to go through the blast nozzle. The blast nozzle has the stream of media and water flowing through it all the time that the vapour hone's pump is running. It is only when the compressed air turned on that it supercharges the flow making very effective for blasting. The air is turned on and off with a valve put into the air line, this makes it very easy to turn the air off when it isn't required. To protect the compressor a one way valve is put into the air line that goes to the blast nozzle. The reason for this is to prevent water syphoning back along the air line towards the compressor, where it might cause damage. The Dirty Water Pump is put into a 25 litre/ 6 gallon bucket. The bucket is filled with water and the blast media is added to it. I have found that adding 5 kilos of media works very well for my set up. For polishing and to give a nice finish to aluminium I use glass beads, of around 50 to 70 grit. For a more aggressive blast it is better to use Aluminium Oxide of around 80 grit. I find that setting the compressor to give 80 psi, works quite well, it is enough to give a great blasting effect, while not running the compressor reservoir down too quickly. I originally used this setup with a small 90 litre blast cabinet, but now I have a larger 220 litre cabinet. Besides the advantage of being able to blast larger items, I find that the viewing port doesn't get as blocked up by the spray from the blast nozzle.
