    I use glass beads in my bead blaster, but in different grits. I
    throughly clean the cabinet and the nozzle prior to adding my
    different grit and I would assume the same is safe for you. You can
    blow compressed air through your nozzle to clean it out, but I found
    taking it apart to clean it was more effective. Depending on the
    type of nozzle you use, I would check the grit size of the sand vs.
    glass beads to make sure they will work well with the nozzle
    interchangeably.
