Thread: sandblasting ?

I agree with shine, I still do some sandblasting but it's limited to heavy parts like frames, castings, wheels etc.

Usually sandblasting sheetmetal turns into a disaster.

contrary to old belief it is not heat that warps. but rather the peening of the metal which stretches one side. even with the best equipment there is a lot of knowledge that an operator must have. experience is golden. i have seen thousands of dollars worth of destruction done by backyard blasters. the worst is the sandblaster who do cement trucks and such. they will destroy a car within an hour.
