Title: The messiest job ever! Post by: j-f on August 02, 2012, 20:13:50 pm I had the great idea to sandblast my bay window at home.
So, I borrow a diesel air compressor from my uncle and a sandblaster from a friend. I expected a huge mess, but it was beyond expectations... :o I have now a true surfer van ;D (http://static.skynetblogs.be/media/123253/3593217056.jpg) (http://static.skynetblogs.be/media/123253/3607734244.jpg) Title: Re: The messiest job ever!

Title: Re: The messiest job ever! Post by: j-f on August 03, 2012, 18:51:57 pm I blasted it also outside in the driveway of our trucks park. Luckily this is a gravel driveway.
Neighbor still didn't come complaining ::) It doesn't work as quickly as a thought. Compressor blow air like hell, but the blaster is a hobby type. The bus had been painted 3 times. Original paint come out quickly but the last layer is a thick paint and they used a bondo style primer. I will blast the inside, door jambs and I will did the flat large exterior surfaces with bristle discs. Title: Re: The messiest job ever!

Make sure you ALWAYS use a painter's-style respirator when working with true sand, even when working outside. A dust mask will not protect you. Silicosis is permanent and painful. |
