I see that Firestickers.net has all kinds of alarm box stickers on ebay and they also offer the "white stripe". I have emailed them directly, asked a question through their ebay auctions, called them on the phone and left messages and have not had any responses. I have been trying for over a year! Has anyone had any contact with them?

Yes, I have via e-mail about 4 months ago; we exchanged several e-mails.   I must say that I did e-mail them about 2 months; I got no response (but my e-mail really didn't require/ask for a response).

I spoke with them via e-mail last week, they stated that they were out of stock and they didn't know when they would have any more available....

Well I'm glad that they respond to someone. I emailed & called (left a message) two days ago and have not heard a thing, besides all of the other emails and phone messages I've left in the past year. Seems like a piss poor way to do business.

If you go to someone who's business is blasting they have alternatives to sand that isn't as harsh. I use aluminum oxide in my blaster and it works great. The little bit of pitting you do get will be filled by a good quality scratch filling primer. A couple of other tips. On older cast iron boxes I use a strong mixture of Red Devil lye and hot water to years abd layers of paint off. In some cases I haven't had to sandblast using this method. A stiff scrub brush and cold water and it's ready to prime. I found out the hard way though that this DOES NOT work on Herculite and newer aluminum boxes. It eats them up. There are no threads left in the screw holes either.


It off gases hydrogen too!
