Carried away sandblasting

Recommended Posts

I was sandblasting a front wheel from a C-141 I picked up some time ago.  I guess the PO had but some kind of flat repair glop in the tire.  it hadn't worked and when it was flat water got into the wheel.  it would go flat after a few weeks and i would just put air in.  Today I broke it down (a real struggle as the tire didn't want to get off the very rusty and gloped up rim...now I know why tire shops won't work on tires that have been Slimmed.)

 

  Had it in the sandblast cabinet and thought I had it done when i noticed a dark spot.  Hit it again and oops it got bigger  Turned out there were 3-4 small pinholes in the rim.  Guess she will get  a tube,
