    Parts washer solvent

    I called one of our local petroleum dealers that caters to industry. I first heard of a "Safety solvent" from them years ago. Their product that is used extensively locally is called Nemco. Looks like the ticket. Inexpensive too compared to one gallon jugs at CT or HD. $90/20 litres...

    Glass bead blasting

    These bags of "30-60" glass were recycled. It is like a very fine sand. I suspect it is not the beads. I did not see these " beads versus crushed" posts before I did the job but I did consult with an aviation guy and he said that glass would be fine. But again, did not specify beads/versus...

    Glass bead blasting

    Thanks for the replies. I saw some of them when I was in town, and spoke with my supplier. He had 50 lb bags of recycled glass in stock so I grabbed a bag of the fine. The items to be cleaned are steel but one is critical (holds the wings together) and I did not want to use sand. I will report back.
