The local Blasting company here uses a variety of materials ranging from sand to walnut shells to plastic beads ( they can strip the paint off a pop can with out denting it) It is possible to build your own gravity fed cabinet. Just a large box with a hole for the sand to fall out of and into a bucket that your gun feeds from. If you have the compressor I would try one of these portable guns from snap on link Good Luck AA and let us know what else you find out. I will see if I can find the plans I saw on building a sandblasting cabinet.
