Will this sandblaster work with a standard pancake compressor or a small 6-gallon unit?

Not recommended. Pancake and small tanks (<20 gal) can't supply the needed air volume. This tool requires 4 CFM at 90 PSI continuously; small tanks empty in seconds. For best results, use a 20-gallon compressor or larger.

My sandblaster stopped spraying media. Is it defective?

Likely not. Moisture in the air line is the #1 cause of clogs. Even a little water clumps the media. SOLUTION: Use an inline moisture filter/water trap and ensure abrasive media is bone-dry before loading into the blaster.

Can I use this to strip paint off an entire car hood or frame?

Designed for spot blasting, not large-scale stripping. The AS118 is a gravity-fed tool for detailed work like brake calipers or rust spots. It is not an industrial siphon unit meant for large surface areas like car bodies.

What type of abrasive media (sand) should I use?

Best with grit sizes #46–100. Use dry Aluminum Oxide, Silicon Carbide, Glass Beads, or Fine Walnut Shells. DO NOT USE coarse media (>#40 grit), play sand, or river sand; these contain moisture and debris that will clog the system.

Does this kit come with the air hose and compressor?

No. This is a pneumatic tool kit that includes the Sandblaster Gun and a Ceramic Nozzle Tip. You must provide your own air compressor (4+ CFM @ 90 PSI), air hose (1/4" NPT fitting), and abrasive media
