I got a blaster from Harbor Freight but it quickly clips up. Sometimes shaking the tank helps but only for a few seconds. It’s a pressurized tank, my air compressor is a 30 gallon with a small motor, but I’m just doing very small areas for now and plan on getting a bigger compressor. Meanwhile, I know small compressors are prone to condensing water but my question is are media blasters so sensitive to water that they’ll clog from not having a water filter on the compressor? Thanks

Sure, they are super air hogs so that little compressor makes more water than you think....poof! clog.... with moisture the stuff turns into a mix of mud/quicksand real quick....

Thanks, I’ll try a water separator and a pipe drain too
