What service is right for me?

The type of service you need is completely based on they type of project you have. Our Dustless Blaster and Dry Ice Blaster generally provide similar type of results on different sized projects.

  • The Dustless Blaster is ideal for larger projects that can be done outside.
  • The Dry Ice Blaster provides the same level of stripping but can be done indoors and on more delicate pieces, or items that you do not want to dismantle.
  • The Vapor Honing service is performed in our shop and would require drop off or shipment of the items.

Please send us a quote request and we will gladly help you decided what best fits your project needs.

How long does it take?

The blasting process is generally the least time-consuming portion of the process. Set up and clean up are what take the most time, and again this is all determined by the type of service you are needing. For instance, our Dustless Blaster can strip a whole car down to bare metal in less than two hours. Please give us a call, we can discuss your specific project in more detail.

What are the benefits of Dustless Blasting?

Dustless Blasting is becoming more popular due to its many great features:

  • The unit is completely mobile, we can come to you, no need to load and transport your project. This saves not only time, but money also!
  • Dustless Blasting is a mixture of water and media, the water allows the media to fall to the ground, instead of creating a plume of dust. In most cases this is preformed over a plastic tarp allowing us to essentially fold up the debris and dispose of leaving less of a mess in comparison to dry blasting
  • Another great thing about using water and media is the water keeps the metal cooler during treatment, preventing warping and other defects caused by heat and friction
  • Dustless blasting is a quick process, if you compare the hours that would be needed to completely sand a car, versus the couple hours in which the whole car could be stripped and ready for the next step in restoration

What can be done in the Vapor Cabinet, How big of Parts?

Our Vapor Cabinet can contain up to 1000lbs, with a door opening of approximately 24” x 30”

This is ideal for smaller parts for best results.

How do I prep my project for restoration?

Preparation is going to be dependent on the type of project you have. We can discuss prep options that best suit your project needs at the time of quote. We offer options for DIY prep, as well as complete service packages in which we do all the work for you. The only thing you need to do is call or email to get the process started.

What things are needed after surface stripping?

The next step in your restoration project will be dependent on the type of material stripped.

  • Metals will be blasted with a rust inhibitor solution, which allows approximately a 72hr window in which it is recommended the pieces then be sealed or primed
  • Wood should be resealed or painted after surface stripping
  • Concrete should be sealed after stripping to maintain the fresh clean look

 

We will discuss your specific project needs in more detail before the process is started.
