The time and amount of sand my plain bucket kit uses is a lot. Small spray area.

I'm not an expert. I have messed around with some sandblasters over the years. I will say that trying different air pressure can help. Start around 40 PSI and work your way up. Air pressure is about the only adjustment the simple bucket style blaster has.
What type of abrasive are you using? Sandblasters are deceptively simple but, the details to make them effective and efficient are complex. That's why cheap ones are $30 dollars and expensive ones are $30,000. Water jet blasters make dust control easy. In addition they give your grit a boost as wet media is heavier than dry media so it looses less momentum between the end of the nozzle and the work surface. Which can help or hurt depending on what you trying to accomplish.

I believe. OP is asking about Pressure washer sand blasters.
Not regular media blasters.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
