Can anyone suggest what steps to take to prep stainless for bead blasting.
I want to remove the metal scale on pieces of 2b 304 18 gauge stainless sheet metal before blasting the pieces with an extra fine 170/325 glass bead. The glass bead media itself does not remove the scale (or any other scratches).
These pieces are flimsy and I am not sure how I could use a buffing wheel without bending them.
