Question and Answer
Q. Why not sandblast, rather than bead blast?
A. The use of silica sand is much too abrasive for our tin and metal
painting surfaces. This method is great for cleaning paint and rust
off of thick steel and cast-iron pieces, but it’s not widely used in
stripping tin and thinner metal surfaces. Blasting with silica sand
can create too much friction and cause your tin and metal surfaces
to warp badly. It may also pit your surface.
Q. How large an item can we work with?
A. The cabinet is made for small or large pieces. 28” deep, 46”
wide, 28” high work area.
Q. How do you prep the metal after blasting?
A. We prime the piece with a “ self etch” primer, which is applied
immediately after blasting, to prevent rust from forming and protect
your surfaces. As with all products, the longer the cure time, the
better the adhesion.
Q. What kinds of things can we blast?
A. Milk cans, cream cans, oil cans, metal lawn chairs, wooden
stools, old TV trays, bread boxes, metal picnic baskets, coffee and
tea pots, cream/sugar sets, butter dishes, metal trays, some plastic
trays, salt & pepper sets, wooden bowls, metal lamps, metal serving
dishes, varnish from new wood TV trays to bare wood, paint from old
furniture, just about anything you have.
