It sure aint pretty but it'll work! #sandblasting #fabrication #garagebuild #metalwork

What happens here

Construct the blast room enclosure using blue tarps. The creator demonstrates an 8x8 foot room where tarps are secured to the ceiling and walls. The corners are joined using duct tape to minimize gaps and prevent media from escaping. While the creator notes his taping isn't perfect, the goal is to contain the blasting media and dust.

Goal: Create a contained space with tarps to enclose the blasting area.

Tools and materials

  • Blue Tarps — Creating the walls and ceiling of the enclosure
  • Duct Tape — Securing tarp seams and corners

What they say

going to put a fan there though, so whatever. My Harbor Freight blaster, my table set up. The room is 8 by 8. I have it all secured to the top. My corners are, I don't know, somewhat duct taped. Not the best. But, it is what it is. So, I'm going to go ahead and blast in here and let you guys know how it goes.
