As far as media, whenever I'm doing stuff outside my cavernous cabinet, I use just plain old silica sand. I buy Lane Mountain Co stuff, 100lb bag for $7. Can't beat that price with a stick, and the stuff works pretty well. I even use it inside my cabinet too. Only downsides to using Silica sand is it breaks up fast, and the dust it produces is some nasty stuff. If you use it, make sure the respirator you are using has good filters and a quality seal.

Best way to go about it is to setup a tent around your work area with exhaust fans. Think of it like a paint tent. If you tarp underneath, you can sift and recycle some media.
