Keep the blasting media dry! After purchasing your blasting media put into a 5 gallon paint container that has a lid with a good seal and a screw top lid. Keep it sealed up when you are not using it. Put the pick up tube of blaster gun in the screw top lid hole. Found that after doing this got better results. For Frame and a lot of other parts took to a professional who first steam cleaned the frame and parts then did the sand blasting, priming and painting. Was not cheap but got good results and have no rust anywhere.
