So, here is the deal. I always hate sandblasting when it is 90 degrees, and I am in jeans, long sleeves and sweating, so I decided to go out and try today. Worked great, except kept having problems with the gun not blowing air out. I would take it inside, clean it out, go back out and it would work for a while. Figured it had to be the moisture getting to the sand, so kept it inside. (this is old sand that I just blow out over the snowcovered yard)

Well, figured out after several cuss words that the air line, coming out from the warm garage across 40 feet of snow and ice was condensing water inside and actually freezing before the air chuck. I had ice in the line that was blocking air from getting to the sandblaster.
 
Yes, but no. Ready for someone to fish slap me and tell me to sandblast when there is not a 2 degree windchill.
