Work on pool tile** A: In my opinion, I would not use this as a method of cleaning pool tile. It will most likely degrade the surface finish of the tile. If a non-chemical method of cleaning is what is desired I would look for a provider of portable dry blast. This uses CO2 as the media to remove contaminants from the tile. **Q: What color is the glass?** A: The glass beads are ground up auto glass and they are whiteish in color. **Q: Is there msds info on this product or downloadable?** A: Not sure, I would assume the answer is yes **Q: Can the medium be used for blasting aluminum wheels?** A: Depends on how corroded they are and what type of finish you expect to have when done. Yes, you can blast aluminum wheels however you will have a textured finish when done that will need to be sanded out, then polished if you are looking for mirror type finish. I like the medium because it is just heavy enough compound to take corrosion from aluminum and not tear it up "much". Heavier compound is not normally needed for aluminum and lighter compound will be less abrasive to the finish but take longer to clean up corrosion or paint. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These are Glass Beads, Not ground up glass like you fine at TSC. *by K***R on November 19, 2020* Not much to say, they work and last well. Again these are glass beads so make sure this is what you are looking for. If you have a reclaimer/seperator do not empty it back into the cabinet, you will not be able to see while blasting. I am using them in a HF Blast cabinet. The bucket is heavy but was delivered by UPS in good time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent! *by D***A on August 26, 2025* Excellent quality and value. Best price around. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great blasting media for steel. *by B***. on February 7, 2016* This is my first time using glass beads. These are great! Very little dust. I am using these on steel and aluminum. This size gives a very nice finish for painting or plating. I also like that it is 5 gallons which translates to 53lbs. That is twice as much as the other brands. ## Frequently Bought Together - Blast Media, Glass Beads, Medium - Blast Media, Glass Beads, Fine - Ballotini Blast Media, Glass Beads, Extra Fine, 53 lb --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/13948705-blast-media-glass-beads-medium](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/13948705-blast-media-glass-beads-medium) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
