Walnut shells

Just wondering where to purchase and whether fine grade is ideal for the job? They seem hard to come by in Australia. Cheers

I had our E91 done at Advan/BMR Autowerkes. They would know where to get the shells.

I've just purchased some fine grain from Radum, they were out of stock for ages, I tried the medium grain with no luck, the walnut blasting kit I built wouldn't pull them through

Ahh didn't think of that but was worried it would wreck my coffee grinder

I might try that when the fine grade ones run out

Yep, Radum has them back in stock.

Out of a 20kg sack you could probably use a coarse sieve to pick out enough fine granules for one sesh?
