Is a ten gallon pressureized sandblaster adequate for limited stripping use? I am completely stripping a Cub 149 and the frame may need to be sandblasted.

It isn"t so much the size of the media container as it is a sufficient supply of DRY air to your blast machine.

I have used everything from a little portable that holds 5 pounds of media to 3000 pounds. It all comes down to the air supply. You have to have a compressor that can sustain the required air volume and filter or filters to take the moisture and any oil contaminates out of the air.
Small equipment is slower but more economical, big can be faster, more costly and result in damaged surfaces if you use too much pressure.
I"d suggest you use a media other than sand. It isn"t safe. Always use a respirator. Protect your lungs.

You're sure enough right about the air supply.I've got a little upright that's hardly three gallon. It sure would be nice to have at least a 10 gallon one. What would you recommend for a media instead of sand that works as good?

Sand is OK,just use a good respirator/The problem wit other media is cost and recovery/reuse.Thats where a cabinet is great,but when I blast"outside",I use a large plastic tarp(16x20?)attached to the garage wall,and spread on the ground to try to "catch" most of the media(glass beads,road glass,Black Beauty,etc).Then you can vacuum up and reuse it.Even a large cardboard box from an appliance store can serve as a temporary enclosure to help corral the media.My ideal"place" would be a small one car garage/pole building with a concrete floor and galvanized metal ceiling and inside walls solely used for blasting :)
