https://jacksonville-florida-sandblas... 904-638-8338 Hi, I'm Chris.

Sandblasting 1955 Chevy Pickup Truck in Jacksonville Florida with Traditional Dry Blasting. We use a faster more economical sand on the parts not susceptible to warping, and a gentler less abrasive sand on the more fragile parts that are prone to warping.

That's why you'll see 2 pallets of sand on my blast trailer. One is more aggressive and faster therefore its less expensive, and the other pallet of abrasive sand is less aggressive and more gentle plus its slower, therefore its more expensive.

But hey, you have to protect the vehicles fragile parts from warping. Or you will be very miserable. Have you ever seen waves in a hood and roof? It makes car owners cry.

This is NOT Dustless blasting. I do dustless blasting also and its the same price. There is no cost difference between traditional dry blasting and wet dustless blasting.

But there is a huge difference in the clean up of the intricate parts in a automobile. Specifically in the holes, nooks, corners and cranny's. Wet Dustless blasting packs those holes with wet sand, MUD.

Then the mud drys in and wont come out. Ever hear a automobile rattle as dry chunks roll around in some unknown pocket somewhere? I bet you'd love that.

Dry traditional blasting allows us to use our air hose and blow ALL the loose dry sand out of the entire vehicle so you have no miserable clean up, and its ready for painting.

People that don't know any better, people that merely repeat what they have heard, will say warping metal is from the heat generated from sandblasting. That is so untrue. I'm predominantly a welding & fabrication shop. I'm a metal and heat master/expert you could say. https://after-hours-welding.com/

If a piece of metal is 80 F degrees in the ambient air, when I blast it the temperature will elevate to 120 F. That is not enough heat to warp metal. Your car hood can hit 150 degrees F from just being in the hot sun. Does that warp your car? Actually by raising the temperature, by annealing, I can remove warping. But that has nothing to do with blasting.

What warps metal from blasting is the stretching of the metal like you spread pizza dough on a table. You work it, flatten it and it spreads and will wave/warp as it get wider. Let me hit your hood with 5 million pieces of sand too large, too heavy, and I'm working, flattening, and causing your hood to spread out and it will warp/wave up.

Now instead let me hit your hood with 35 million tiny small light grains of sand. The smaller it is the less energy it carry's and the less impact it has. The less impact the less the flattening stretching effect you'll get. The less flattening you get, no waves, no warping.

Although I do do dustless blasting, I am so tired of the Dustless brand being willing to lie to you and their customers just so they can sell machines that shoot wet/MUD sand that in some situations, is nearly impossible to clean out of automobiles.

Actually I'm just sick of people who are willing to lie so they can trick you out of your money, because they are too dumb to go earn it for real. Those are the people I'm prejudiced of. Unfortunately I cant identify them by looking at them.

Want to know more of the differences between wet dustless blasting and dry traditional blasting? https://after-hours-welding.com/portf...

Here is a forum of restoration professionals where dozens of them have been sadly exposed to warping problems from people using dustless blasters who don't know what they are doing .http://www.spiuserforum.com/index.php...

We will travel 250 miles in any direction from Jacksonville Florida to come do your blasting project. And I wont lie to you to get your money.

I hoped you liked this video. Have a great day. Thumbs up to you my viewer and my beloved customers.
