Recommended type of sand

Silica sand: This is the most commonly used type of sand for sandblasting. It is effective for removing rust, paint, or preparing surfaces made of metal, wood, or concrete.
River sand: This natural sand, often cleaner, can also be used for sandblasting work.

Sand grain size

Fine sand: Ideal for delicate work, such as sandblasting wood or fragile surfaces.
Coarse sand: Better suited for robust surfaces like metal or concrete where a more aggressive stripping is needed.

Quality of sand

The sand must be clean, dry, and free from dust, clay, or other impurities that could clog the sandblaster or reduce its effectiveness.

In summary, choose silica or river sand, with a grain size suitable for your type of work, and ensure it is clean and dry to guarantee optimal operation of your SCHEPPACH SBT80 sandblaster.
