Sand blasting

[Erik Jostad]

I'm working in the aircraft business, and we're using plastic-particles for paint-stripping instead of sand, glass, GRIT etc.

-The plastic will not develop heat, and will therefore not deformate sheet-metal.
-It doesnt change the surface of the metal as sand does.
-Its far more effective than sand etc to remove paint, but leaves the rust.
-You can blast your complete vehicle, as the plastic is softer than glass, an therefore dont damage instruments, ligths, windows etc.
The plastic dust will never damage bearings, seals, U-joints etc.

You can use ordinary blasting equipment, but the plastic is off-course more expencive than sand.
My experience is that the local sand-blaster often destroys more in a minute, than mother nature did the last 50 years.
