What to look for in an air compressor.

Also think about the larger the screw compressor (not always the same as a hydrovane) get noisier. Think about the medium to use as well. Checkout soda blasting

Still be a lot quieter than the cheap compressor I have at the moment lol.
Soda blasting requires very similar pressures & flow rates although it does work slightly differently. Already got a bag of soda to experiment with along with the glass beads & aluminium oxide. Might be able to borrow a compressor from someone I know to run along side mine for the time being which will at least let me start experimenting. Should help give me a better idea of what I really need to do the job properly.

LOL! I have an old compressor which i very rarely use these days because of the noise. Hope you sort it soon Martin.
