Im using a small sandblaster with black beauty media. It isnt picking up the media, i dont know if the media is to heavy or i need more cfm at the gun to get more pickup force. Any suggestions ? Thanks

Make sure nothing is clogged
 
Sounds clogged, take the tip off and blow it out.

Make sure your air source is dry or you'll keep having problems.
 
I use to put my hand over tip and shoot gun for 30-45 secs it would get clogged up. Don't put to much black beauty in it that can also make it not work right. Learned to much media is bad, water in air is bad, and tip can go bad. You will learn from mistakes.

I just got a free bag of some glass bead pellets other day but work thought my sand blasting cabinet was not good enough and bought one 4 times my price. So I will use there and save mine :D from wear and tear.
