Anyone still looking for blast glass covers? I have found that the local tractor supply carries them in stock, if you have a tractor supply near you, may want to check it out.

Re: Blast glass covers
So is this for the glass cover in the blasting cabinet? Is that what we're talking about? If so, what is the main advantage of going with the glass one? Is it stronger than the plexy unit? I keep having to replace those plastic films in front of my window, if glass doesn't require this and stays clear I would be much happier.Comment

I have to ask because I have to replace that plastic film on mine quite often. It's also hard to see most of the time as crap gets trapped between the window and the film or it just gets to beat up it's hard to see through...Comment

Re: Blast glass covers
I think you're still misunderstanding. He is talking about the protective films. They do tend to get beat up after awhile and need to be replaced, but its a lot easier and cheaper than changing the glass or plexiglass window. Glass won't mark up unprotected as fast as plexiglass, but both will eventually become clouded just like the film does and require replacement. I'd rather spend a couple of bucks each time changing the film than spend $30 to $50 on a new window every few months.Dan

Re: Blast glass covers
I posted in Feb on EW.
" bought a 40"x100' roll of 007 CLR Duralar and with shipping $124.41 from Graphix Plastics. Mine takes an 11 1/2" by 23 1/2" piece. I use automotive grade 3m tape to seal it. Not the cheep 3m but like the green tape you see at auto zone and advance auto. They will also cut it the size you want it but gets higher that way also. I will get 162 sheets out of it. That's less than 77 cents per sheet. If they cut it $1.46 per sheet. Their min order is $100
The 007 mil is the correct one. I sent them a sample of the EW ones I have been buying.
The stock number is R07DC40100 and its Duralar.

Two people a straight edge and a razor knife. I use the left over to tape to any face shields I have. I buy the double sided tape to get it in place and then I use a better grade of painters tape ( not BLUE )to seal it so stuff does not get between the glass and the cover. That will take care of one of Juan's problems and he is on his on with the rest
TNC has a Blast It All blasters and you can buy it by the roll with the roller and just loosen 4 wing nuts pull the film through and then cut the old off. But you have to have the right cabinet to use it. http://forum.eastwoodco.com/showthread.php?t=7609 near the bottom by TNC for the guys that don't know him.Comment
