Hi.

I have one but haven't tried it out yet due to my dad buying a proper sand blaster.

It was from B&Q (yes we do have big shops on the Isle of Man) it is universal B&Q own Make. wasn't too dear.

how much was it? ( if you can remember)

also what kind of sand do u have to use?

Hi, I think it was about £20, but like I said I never used it, its still in the box somewhere in the garage, I will dig it out and have a look at the instructions.
