I’m media blasting a '73 Bronco and I keep getting shocked every time I touch the thing. It’s getting pretty annoying. It is a pretty strong shock otherwise I would just ignore it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this problem? Could I ground it somehow? ---

what media are you using to blast? And yeah, ground it Best bet, grind part of frame down to clean metal, take a jumper cable, attach to grounded object, or if not available, pound a steak or small pipe into ground and clamp the other end of the jumper cable onto it… ---

the media generates a lot of static. I used to get popped all the time, right through gloves, shoes, ect. Hurt like a mother sometimes. Try getting a wrist strap ground (from computer store) and hook that up to the piece you are blasting. ---

I’m blasting with Carbojet15. I ended up wedging a bolt on either side of one of the wheels and attaching a pair of jumper cables and it seems to have worked. ![http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q181/blastoffinc/DSCN0053.jpg](http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q181/blastoffinc/DSCN0053.jpg) ![http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q181/blastoffinc/DSCN0052.jpg](http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q181/blastoffinc/DSCN0052.jpg) ![http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q181/blastoffinc/DSCN0051.jpg](http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q181/blastoffinc/DSCN0051.jpg)
