Sandblasting in Etobicoke?

[dafy]

OK I will. Why can't you use sand, just curious?

be sure to tell them to blast it with walnut, glass, or soda. you cant blast aluminium with sand.

This is the piece I'm talking about, just to give a visual...I give up...and so did my dremel LOL:

aluminium is too soft. the sand will literally eat through the part very quickly if not careful. same with steel, but it takes much longer since its that much harder.

i made this mistake before with Fishburn Proctor. never again.

walnut shell,etc,etc is soft so it will only take the paint off. You can also try chemical stripping.

If you can get it up to Concord, I can blast it for you. It looks very small.

We use glass bead and I am glassbeading all my alum. stuff for my FZR. If you can get it to me, I'll do it for free.

PM me if you want a phone number and directions.

Sand will "pit" aluminum
