Harbor Freight Blast Cabinet Door
« on: December 11, 2018, 11:35:12 AM »
Time has come for a new door. I can make one out of plexiglass or have some real glass cut with some kind of stick on protector.

Question: What have you done that has worked out better for your cabinet?
Thanks

This is how I fixed mine - that little box is way to small to be that useful.  Sold it for $20

That looks like one of the smaller cabinets I used at work. Once you get used to using a blast cabinet you'll find the small one I have is quite useful. Although awkward and time consuming I can do a valve cover in mine. Intakes and larger pieces I use a hand held blaster.

Glass or plexi, buy some clear 'shelf liner' at any store selling home/kitchen goods. It's a plastic on a roll, with a tear-off liner, that reveals the self-stick backing. Cheap, lasts a long time, easy to tear off and replace with another sheet.

We have a similar model at work, and you can order stick on covers for the inside to help with it getting etched and you can't see through.

Though the shelf liner might be cheaper and do the same thing.
