What happens here

After filling the sandblaster with media and replacing the nozzle, the presenter secures the cap tightly on the tank. He then connects the air compressor hose to the top air inlet and begins to pressurize the tank, aiming for around 90 PSI to start. He opens the bottom valve, activates the deadman switch, and observes that the media now flows effectively. He then demonstrates the sandblaster's performance on a rusty metal fender, quickly cleaning off rust and paint. He highlights the improved media flow and effective cleaning.

Goal: Test the modified sandblaster's functionality and demonstrate its improved performance.

Get this thing pressurized. So, we got the lid on tight. We're going to go ahead and add air to the tank. I'm going to run this at 90 to start and then we'll see. But you see my gauge is slowly building here. Now, I'm just going to play with these nozzles and the nozzle down here to figure out what this compressor likes. We're going to do a little bit of air. That shot right through that [ __ ] thing, man. Okay, now we're blasting. So, I mean, it's cleaning it up pretty well. I got I want to dial in that media a little better and figure it out. But that's what we're looking at. So, I'm going to go ahead sand blast this panel and I'll come back. So, as you guys saw,
