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: 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: How much does it cost to sandblast a door?

• <div><p>Your pro will most likely bill you at an hourly rate of <b>$50 to $80 per hour</b> to sandblast a door due to its small size. This type of job won't take long, so if you have other surfaces that need cleaning, schedule those tasks at the same time to get your money's worth from your pro's visit.</p></div>

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: 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>

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...
