Sandblasting in Saskatoon?

Anyone know of any sandblasting places that will do smaller jobs like say a push bar. I looked in the yellow pages but it seems most of the businesses are geared towards mining and really big jobs.

I`ve used Bandit Sandblasting and I was happy with the price and work they did for me.
If it`s a small job I just do it myself though I really hate it.

My compressor has abit of a hard time to keep up but it will do it. It helps alot when I stop to refill with sand, I give it an extra few minutes to shut down for a rest.

I've used that Totally Blasted on Ontario Ave. The price was and the work was good. They were a little slow but then my intake had to be blasted twice to get the paint off.

How big of an air compressor?

I have a sand blaster to use if needed, but no shop set up!

For times when my air compressor isnt gonna be quite large enough, Im gonna install a helper tank with a valve between the tanks that I can shut on and off.

well looks like i'll be doing it myself, I know nobody does stuff for nothing anymore, but I thought 100 beans was a little steep for something i could do myself in about a half hour.

And another thing, when did they stop selling silca sand, I stop a few places and all i could get was glass beads...
