Hopefully you and your family don’t suffer any lasting affects from the virus. It’s odd how some have very mild symptoms, and others suffer much more!
I don’t have a blasting cabinet, although they are very handy, I worked in shops years ago that had large blasting cabinets, and employees could use them after hours,or during lunch. If they have enough air pressure they do a great job.
For many years since I have used a pressure pot type sand blaster. It’s messy, so I use it outside, it works great on large or small parts.
Anyway, back to your question. I use silica sand for more delicate parts, or on the cast aluminum brackets, where a smoother finish is desired, and Black Diamond for heavy rust scale on frames or suspension parts. I think the Black Diamond Grit is pulverized boiler slag, or coal slag. As always, be certain to wear a respirator or supplied air hood when blasting, the dust is very bad for you as I’m sure you know. If you have a Menards or Home Depot near you, they should have it there .

It wasn't fun, but we all got through it okay. Dad didn't get it by some miracle. But yes, it could have been much worse.
We have some silica sand so I'll give that a try. I saw a guy on YouTube that made a wet sandblaster with a cabinet and it left a really nice finish on the LS aluminum parts, but it would be a bit of a mess to clean up.
