Just looked at your pictures Woodsman. Two hours huh! I've spent many an hour and I mean many, with my hands poking through the gloves in blasting cabinets and I'm telling you this, I seriously don't think I could do that pile of stuff in two hours in a good blasting cabinet, and I’ve had the privilege of using some pretty good ones.
I still don’t see why a siphon would be any better than a pressure pot but first thing in the morning I’m gonna give TS a call and if they have one in stock I’m gonna blow this months allowance and try one. I’ve had a little spray gun size Sears siphon blaster for years and it wasn’t much more than a toy, never could get anything clean with it and every couple of min I was refilling the cup.
Not sure just how long my sears upright is gonna hold out cuz blasting keeps it running continuously.
