PRO·FINISH") BASKET BLASTERS Spherical media such as glass beads are used for general purpose cleaning and finishing where a satin like finish is desired with little dimensional change. Glass beads are effective when used with pressures in the 20-60 PSI range. Above 60 PSI excessive breakdown or beads may occur. Angular aggressive media such as aluminum oxide, steel grit and garnet generally provide faster cleaning and produce a duller fmish than glass beads.
