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>

Is sandblasting expensive?

• <div><p>Sandblasting can be expensive, depending on the scope of your project and the materials involved. Costs can range from <b>$700 to $12,500</b>, but most homeowners spend <b>$3,200</b> to have a 1,000-square-foot surface sandblasted. Sandblasting services cost <b>$50 to $80 per hour</b>, though most pros charge by surface area at <b>$1.50 to $7 per square foot</b>.</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: How do different elements influence the cost of removing paint from surfaces?

• <div><p>Costs depend on paint type, surface condition, labor, and required prep work for repainting.</p></div>
