KR> SANDING ICE!!

2008-10-12 Thread AVLEC
Guys, I have heard of carb ice before but tonight I experienced sanding ice.
I recently bought a pneumatic dual piston straight line sander which I was
using tonight on a horizontal stabilizer. After a while it started to lose
power and proceeded to spit out what looked like a little stone from it's
exhaust. I was still standing wondering how such a small stone could have
got into the air line when I noticed it was melting!
So guys, watch out for that sanding ice. Air temp was 24deg C and relative
humidity 65%.
By the way guys this thing saves plenty hours of manual sanding and was
cheap as well.
