The different blast media are for different types of materials you are basting. For aluminum parts(like your TPI plenum) you would want to use glass bead. You can get info and purchase this and other media (crushed walnut shells, aluminum oxide, etc.) at Eastwood's website, here is a link. www.eastwoodco.com
