When is sandblasting useful?

• <div><p>Sandblasting is useful when you need to strip material off a hard surface. Common reasons to sandblast are to remove paint, rust, or get a surface ready for a new material. You aren’t limited to surfaces like walls either—you can sandblast rusted tools, bicycle frames, cement, bricks, and many others. If what you’re sandblasting is still structurally sound, sandblasting can be a fast and inexpensive way to revive the original material. </p></div>

Q: How much does sandblasting exterior surfaces cost?

• <div><p>The costs range from $2 to $5 per square foot, depending on the surface type, labor, and equipment required.</p></div>

Q: Do you sand concrete wet or dry?

• <div><p>You can concrete can be done when it&rsquo;s wet or dry. However, it&rsquo;s safer when wet, as harmful dust and chemicals are present. Sanding it when dry is faster, but you&rsquo;ll agitate more dust and chemicals, meaning you&rsquo;ll need to be more careful.</p></div>

Q: Which costs more: soda blasting or sandblasting?

• <div><p>Soda-blasting systems are slightly more expensive than sandblasting systems. To soda blast, you&rsquo;ll need to spend a few hundred dollars for a blast hose and nozzle, a compressed air supply, a blast generator, a moisture decontamination system, and sodium bicarbonate media, a recurring cost because the powder is not reusable. To start with sandblasting, you will need to spend upwards of $30 for a blast pot, a blast gun, an air compressor, and sandblasting media, many of which are recyclable&mdash;further reducing the cost. The total cost for either will depend on the size of the system.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to sand or pressure wash a deck?

• <div><p>Sanding and pressure washing are both effective ways of maintaining your deck, but one method isn&rsquo;t necessarily better than the other. Instead, they have different purposes and benefits. Pressure washing cleans dirt and grime off a deck and should be done every year. Sanding removes the old finish and prepares a deck for staining or sealing. This should be done every one to two years. </p></div>
