Default Don't be lazy!!!!!

I am preparing parts in a blast cabinet, I am getting black spots BLOWN DEEP into cast parts. This dummy finally figured out that it was grease!
Don't be lazy....degrease all of your parts before they go into blast cabinet. The rest of my evening will be spent on emptying the cabinet, degreasing it and spending another $45.00 on media...
I am new at this stuff, having a ball, just want to give other newbies a heads up.

I gave up on sandblasting. I just use a grinder and 4in knotted cup wheels for everything these days. plus the grinder uses the grease as polish
