If you use Google Chrome it will translate that page.
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Set/sit. Bought/brought FFS. Bloody Americans.

Lester,
What did you think? I did not think it was normal bead blasting the stuff I saw was like the feel of feathers very soft and no pitting on metal surfaces as I said the paint shop guys were over the moon with it.
With usual bead etc everything came back with bits all over it this does not.
Cheers

Sorry Bitsa, France is not for me. Even when i drive down to Venice or Ancona to catch the boat to Greece, i avoid France. Did work in Nice when i was 16, selling ice cream on the beach and being chased by plod.
There are so many different types of bead these days, even poly bead. Very soft.

It could be any sort of poly media as Trig says. I mean walnut shells are even used so anything goes really.

Les, i have a blasting media book from a supplier that has 24 types of media per page and has 38 pages. Try Peppercorns or Ceramic beads in 124 different grades.

Trig,
I love the country but hate the rest,there is good and bad with all countries but here frustration is the big no no for me.Nothing is simple here.The best is price of booze,no road tax and no MOTS for bikes.I think thats about it.

I used to stay in a Gite in a Brittany village about ten years ago. The last time I was there they had this village fete thingy and invited us to go along when I was in the village store. When we arrived they insisted on my family members all sitting at separate tables so that we had to 'mingle'. There was something special about it, a real sense of camaraderie among the locals, that you just don't seem to get quite the same of here. They all took their old farm machinery and paraded it like it was a pristine 'E' type. Nothing was restored just like 'barn' finds. I was like something from the 50's in the UK.  I guess you just have to accept their idiosyncrasies and try to integrate as much as you can.

Cheers ... Ash

Ash,
Been to Brittany and you are right.Where I am it is nothing but farmers who think a good time is a bottle of wine and to feast at the spring fair on a giant omelette.After 14 years of it can no longer stomach it.Will soon hopefully will be moving on to a busier part or back to blighty.Also they all have the biggest and newest tractors I have ever seen and they portray themselves as skint!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers
