Sucking hole in media

How and where did you install the hair drier?

I think i was a bit to fast on the celebration. I just tried the fine aluminiumoxyd, and the problem is back with the hole sucking thing. Maybe the grit is still "wet" from the last time i tried. The forbidden media works fine. But i don´t wanna continue using that.

Maybe you should try a hair drier!

 

[Mte320]

Maybe...or take the whole system to the junkyard

I reckon it's the media rather than the kit. I find with glass grit when it's new it flows fine, but as it wears I reckon the shapes become irregular and they interlock, also dust binds the larger pieces. Try sieving out the dust with a very fine sieve.

What size is your Grit, the media that causes me problems is 0,1-0,18 maybe its to fine.

It's the "Fine" grade.

Ive spoken to our local grit dealer, he adviced me to aluminumsilicat in a rough size 0.3!!

My pot still have the problem about not able to use the last grit in the bottom. Its like it doesn´t fall down. Put i have ZERO moistere in the air. The Hair dryer really works great :-)

I guess my problem yesterday maybe is that i put away the fine media when it was full of moist, and put it down in a o-ring sealed bucket. So it is maybe still wet?

You could always weigh a bucketful, dry it in an oven and re-weigh. That will give you an idea of moisture content and you'll be able to see if the dried media works better, You'll never empty the pot completely.

Do you think the aluminium silica is better to work under moist conditions

Never used it so I couldn't say
