Off Topic. Sand blaster

Sounds like maybe the air passage in the gun is blocked, pushing air pressure backwards from the gun into the sand hose. Take your gun apart and see if anything amiss in it.

About all I know about the gun is how to change nozzles, which I have done but haven't tried it yet. Will do that tomorrow. I can't see any way to do much else, but I do see a large nut toward the rear of the gun. I'll remove that and take a look see.

Second verse....Same as the first!

Squeeze your thumb tightly over the orifice and burp the gun a few times! DD

As quoted in first post, " then it just quit blasting sand and started blowing air/sand up from the bottom of the hopper."

It is already blowing back into the hopper?

Yes. I changed nozzles and will check it tomorrow after my first great granddaughter's second birthday party, then I will venture into the unknown and remove the large nut and see what lies beneath

So, how do I go about unplugging it? I never had this problem before. Thanks.

When you take off the large nut, don't let the spring in there go flying.
It is just the spring that pushes the trigger back to off position.
