Pie ChartsGreetings All,
While searching for a local media blaster, I came across a guy that tells me he
can strip my old Amphi paint with 36,000 PSI of water. Yes, that's with three
zeros. Told him I was surprised some form of damage doesn't occur with such a
high pressure. He reassured me that no damage such as warping or tearing will
happen. He also claims that water blasting removes all rust. Even from the
bottom of pitted areas. Unlike media blasting, further treatment such as sand
blasting is required to get deeply rusted pitted spots.
The only drawback he states is surface rust will occur quickly from using water
so priming the part needs to happen fast. Prior to my conversation with him
today, I had never heard of this process. I was wondering if anyone else has
heard of or had an experience with water blasting. Good or bad, please let me
know.
Hope all is well!
