Q: The hose on my Porter/Cable pancake air compressor doesn't fit with the hose on the air eraser. What do I need to buy to make this work?

I attach my Paasche hose directly to the air compressor. Keeping it at or under 40 psi seems to work for me. I also use a quick "disconnect" for the airbrush-hose connection. You can find it at amazon here, "http://www.amazon.com/Paasche-Airbrush-A-191-Quick-Disconnect/dp/B000BR0IDQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424991958&sr=8-1&keywords=paasche+airbrush+quick+disconnect".Actually the "40 psi" is for the airbrush not the air eraser that you purchased. Refer to owners manual, which i believe quotes a higher psi...around 60 or 65. Again, good luck.

Q: I need to replace the air hose that came with this kit. Where can I find it as I don't know the proper name. Thank You

Its a pretty typical 1/8" hose, can probably even find one at harbor freight. I use the eraser with my larger compressor that has a water trap. Depending on your situation you may find a cheaper alternative then the original hose.

Q: I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried collecting the cutting compound, screening it and reusing it? If so, how fine is the screen you use?

I do Glass etching. In Order to conserve my compound, I purchased a sandblasting cabinet from Harbor Freight for about $100 plus a magnetic light to put inside, taped off the draining hole in the bottom and reclaim the compound by using a small Stanley shop vac, or you can just scoop it out. Because it is self contains, I don
