Tips for sandblaster?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a suggestion of where to get tips for the end of sandblasting pencils? I have a two pencil unit with a blast box and the tanks on the back ( a vaniman sandstorm). Not sure either if there are different sizes with one more ideal than another? Will mostly be prepping trilobites and some fish.

I know MalcolmT gets blunt dispensing needle tips that he hot glues to his air abraders.  I think he uses between 16-20 gauge. 

Easily found on Ebay or Amazon.

I actually mostly use Comco nozzles bought directly from them. The most common I use are the high precision .015, .018 and the .030. I used the dispensing needles on the pasche units to make them more precise. Occasionally I will still use a dispensing needle  on my Comco unit with a extra long needle to get into a spot that I cannot reach with a regualar nozzle.

You can find comco nozzles and other brand ones on ebay for pretty cheap prices, MalcolmT is right you can also get a set direct from comco.
