Q: What does sand do?

• <div><p>Sand is a common sublayer for hardscape features like driveways, paver patios, and more. Most projects that involve sand require a 1-inch layer to promote evenness, drainage, and weight distribution. For further drainage, most projects have a 6-inch minimum layer of gravel beneath the sand. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of sandblasting?

• <div><p>Sandblasting removes old paint, rust, and grime efficiently, providing a clean surface for refinishing.</p></div>

Q: Will sandblasting remove paint?

• <div><p>Sandblasting is a common method for removing paint. It works great if the underlying material is tough. This is because you can then use more abrasive sandblast materials, making the paint removal process much faster and less expensive. If you plan on removing many layers of paint on smooth surfaces, you&rsquo;ll need to be more careful about which materials you choose to use to sandblast. </p></div>

Q: Is soda blasting the same as sandblasting?

• <div><p>Sandblasting refers to the process of cleaning a surface using compressed air and aggregate. Soda blasting is the gentlest type of this method, but it differs from sandblasting that uses mineral or other aggregate, since sodium bicarbonate breaks apart more easily than other forms of blast media and, therefore, cannot be reused.</p></div>

I decided to make the purchase though I did not need all of the equipment. The TRITON 9000 RS Generator/Compressor/Welder machine was what I really had my eye on. I had never seen a machine with so many functions before. The 10,000 gas generator is the machine I needed the most, but the other...

I would not suggest any one use this business. They give false quotes to get you in the door and I wasn't happy with the service at all. I have had sets of nails last four weeks and still not pop off, they had to be taken off! They just took over this business in January and obviously they...
