I appreciate everyones advice.  This is a most helpful group.  I will be
trying all your suggestions.  Have realized that I should never, never,
never accepted such a huge undertaking.  Have been a glorified hobbiest
and hope to return back to that when and if I ever finish this nightmare.
Thanks for the support.

Hi,

I don't know if I'm on  this list the right way.  I get it as a digest; not
in time to answer anything.

But--
in response to the pressure "pot problems".
I don't think the nozzle size or the grit size is the problem.  I've used
different grits, different abrasives and different nozzle
sizes without a problem.

I'm not sure having the compressor outside, freezing (if I understood it
right that that is where it is) is such a good idea.
Even when my studio was unheated overnight; I never ran my compressor until
it had warmed up. Plus, wouldn't that cause
much more condensation than usual. It would mean the hose is running between
freezing air and warm air, causing excess
condensation; which maybe the moisture trap can't keep up with.

I would check into that before spending all sorts of money renting, buying
and changing things.

Also, you're right-- you don't want the compressor near the sandblaster
where it can get ruined with the dust.

Susan

         Regina,

         I live in Oregon and it gets very cold.  I have had similar problems
         because of the moisture getting in the pot.  When I am blasting
         the room is warm.  At other times it can get very cold (converted
         room off back of the house).  I have to remember to bring the
         pot in or end up heating up the aluminum oxide.  Good luck.

         Diana
