I'm still learning how to use it.
Which media, ratio of water to media, and air pressure are all important.
I'm going to glass bead blast some parts first and then vapor blast them.
It's suppose to make a difference for really dirty parts.
I also want to see if the Vapor blaster will remove material impregnated by air only blasters.

I have a proposal for any member...
Take a look at this head



I want to experiment with a protective chemical called Sharkhide.
You can read more about it here:
http://www.oem-cycle.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=249

Faq's from the manufacture is here:
http://www.sharkhide.com/mpfaq.html

I want to vapor blast a head then coat it with Sharkhide and see how well it holds up on a bike with high heat.
If it does as I suspect, it should help maintain that bright finish for at least a few years.
Sharkhide is easily removed so that is not a problem.
If the coating does not hold up very well, we can remove the coating and vapor blast the head again.

So, if anyone is getting ready to build their engine, send me your head and I will do the work and send it back at my expense.
It will take a few days to get it done as I want to be sure the tank is clean before I start and I want drying time for the Sharkhide.

I can tell you that if you get gas or any petroleum product on a Sharkhide finished part, the sharkhide will come off.

So, lets go...

I have a brand new set of K5 cases stashed away in the factory wrapping.
I pulled them out to compare with a vapor blasted set.
No comparison... the vapor blasted set is brighter and smoother.
I'll have to get some pics.
It's hard to believe till you see it.

well, if that's the case, the next time I tear my motor down...I just might have to send everything out to you, for a blasting!

Great!
I'll see if I can expedite some pics between the factory finish and the blasted finish.
