I traded my horses and the accompanying shovel for a blast cabinet. Have never looked back!(get it?) I am breakin myself down here!
Anyhow, the 3/32 carbide nozzle made all the difference for me. Before that, I ruined a few siphon guns because I didnt change the ceramic nozzle fast enough. If you need justification for getting a $60 nozzle, you can do a really good job on horseshoes too!
Glad you are getting it all dialed in Allen!
