How do you know what size/kind of sand to use? ,,,this is new to me. Thanks.

I started out using 80 grit glass bead from TSC to strip paint and rust from metal. By putting down a plastic sheet, all I had to do after sand blasting was sweep it up, screen it and and I got another four uses out the it. All abrasives wear down to dust. I tried 40-60 grit garnet on an old heavily coated radiator and it worked great. But it did break down faster than the glass bead. The play sand mentioned in the other "answers" is a great way to go once you have screened it. For me, I have found 40 to 80 grit abrasives work best for metal cleaning and what type of media is up to you based on your budget and enviromental considerations.

do i need to buy a compressor for this to work? if so what type?

If you need to ask this question, you probably also have no idea that you MUST wear a proper respirator. If you use silica/glass or many other types of media in a sand blaster without a respirator (not a mask, but a full on twin filter setup) you will have just enough time to realize you screwed up before you drown in your own blood. A friend of mine was lucky and only lost 70% of his lung capacity after not knowing this when his brother found him almost dead on the garage floor. Im sorry for being graphic but this is no joke. You'll end up dead if you dont wear one.

Will this work well as a soda blaster?

I purchased and used pure baking soda. I picked up a 12lb bag at Walmart in the pool supply section for about $8 but then I found a 50lb bag (both arm & hammer brand) for just $25. It flows very well through this gun for me.

what size nozzles come with this unit & how many cfm required

The Nozzle at end is around half or 9/16th inch diameter. I used 5.4 scfm with 15 gallon tank, max 180#. Worked well. Had to pause sometimes for compressor to catch up. I also cut the rubber intake hoze to half it's length and that mase a big difference. If u use common sand you had better sift it first. But if you do get a clog... it's very easy to clear the clog.
