holdinghistory Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Just got my sand blaster in the mail today. I was looking for some powder, not quite sure where you usually buy it. I have heard dolomite is good. I will be prepping trilobites and fish mainly for now. Anyone have a good place to get it, or any other powder recommendations?

Fossildude19 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I use Axner Pottery Supply. They are very helpful, reasonably priced, and ship quickly.

RJB Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 You may want to get both some dolomite and bicarb. Dolomite is a bit harsh on most fish unless they are from the 18 inch layer or bottom cap. Bicarb is a bit softer than dolo. RB 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptychodus04 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I'm with @RJB. I use baking soda. I just buy the 13 pound bag at Costco. It will last for quite a while bc I do the vast majority of the prep with scribes and only use abrasive for detail prep.

RJB Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Hey @holdinghistory, I myself use a mixture, (about 50/50), of both bicarb and dolo when doing my 18 inch fish material. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
