That should not be a problem as long as you do not blast any other alloy in the cabinet.

First of two simultaneous responses --

Yes, but do it as a wet blast.

That's a leading question. It's like having an hand accident and asking the doctor can I play the piano again and not ever having played it before. So, the answer is yes if you have done it before. If you use alum oxide media, that might be a problem.
