Is a dirty, noisy job, but I'd like to try it once. Was looking at reviews of Harbor Fraught versions, maybe a little too cheap to be useful.

I heard it was best to have 2 compressors in tandem.

I have two 60 gallon tanks but are only filled by one compressor, extra tank was off another compressor that packed it in and I snatched it up..

Is a noisy job too? Was thinking one might need ear plugs.

I have an 80 gallon and a 220 gallon air compressors-- Well I say I but I mean my dad--- He borrowed my 220 gal once plugged it into his sand blaster and I never got it back :-( he bought me a little 60 gal while he "borrows" the big one--- going on 13 years now. I built a trailer for the 220 gal-- ironically it has a flat tire :-)

My dad wasn't very handy with tools, I have a fair amount and nobody to leave them to..
