Turns out there are two separate glass systems. One is glass media and the other is glass beads

This method showed some promise.

So I went to dry sand blasting the heavy steel (frame and flat bed) and will retain the water for the cab. The reason is that cleanup is so much easier with dry blasting. I went with the Harbor Frieght pressure pot. It really needs a radio controlled solenoid valve on the blast air to clear the occasional clog. A 2hp compressor is too small; 5 is ideal.
