Sandblasting Process
A Step-by-Step Guide to the
Sandblasting Process
Scrap the sandpaper and opt for the quick
and efficient process of sandblasting.
Sandblaster guns refine a surface while also giving a decorative finish to craft
metals. It can be used to remove old paint, smooth a rough surface, roughen a
smooth surface or give shape to an object.
In and around the home, sandblasting replaces the use for sandpaper, eliminating
the need for hand-sanding and the mess that goes along with it. Sandblasting is
quick, efficient and delivers desirable results.
It is important to be aware of the necessary safety precautions that need to be
put into place before home or industrial sandblasting can take place. Take note
of the following:
Place duct tape over the areas that are not to be blasted.
Open the cabinet and place the item in the center while ensuring that it is
stable. Close the compartment.
It's All in the Sand. With a variety of fine sand to choose from, ensure that
you select one that won’t warp metal, is reusable, and doesn’t clog up your
machine.
Air Compressors. Air compressors are not made for blasting. Ensure that you
take periodic breaks within the process to prolong the use of your compressor.
