"Makes a mess but no dust until it dries so do it in a place where weather will wash it into the soil."
In many, many places that is illegal!
Silica and most media is considered toxic waste. Allowing it to get into the water table or a stream or the ocean, is irresponsible!
That is why it is best to take it to a shop that will do it correctly and reclaim the media.
Like Marty, I also have the equipment, but at under $400 to blast a cab it's not worth the time, aggravation and the PROPER clean-up, to do it myself.
For someone on a budget, (proper breathing gear costs more than $400) living in the Mojave, it might make sense to do it yourself, but you have to be responsible with your waste.
