i think i recall you are from NH, if so there are a few places, i would reccomend recycled glass, i get it thru crown paint and supply in south portland, maine, its like 6.50 a bag, and i used 15 bags to do complete unerneath of my car, it works very well, however take the time to heat and scraper the undercoating off as it will take more sand and twice the time to just blast it off cause ts so rubbery.
here is a pic of the media, and a pic of how it works.
it does not heat the metal up, and or pit the metal, just a nice probaly 400 grit finish or so.

is that aggresive enough to take off rust? how large are the bags? how many lbs? im not so much worried about heat on the floors, as they will never be seen, but the rest of the body i am. yep im in NH, outside manchester
