Abrasive blasting is the umbrella for every method we use: propelling a media at a surface to remove what shouldn’t be there. The skill is choosing the right media — and the right pressure — for what’s underneath.

Choosing the right media
Abrasive blasting covers every method of stripping a surface by firing media at it. The right media depends on two things: how hard the surface underneath is, and how tough the coating on top is.
Soft surfaces with light coatings suit soda. Large areas, or sites where dust is a problem, suit dustless blasting. Hard steel with heavy rust suits sandblasting with hard grit.

Abrasive Blasting, answered.
What is abrasive blasting?
Abrasive blasting is the general term for cleaning or stripping a surface by firing media at it with compressed air. Soda blasting, dustless blasting and sandblasting are all types of abrasive blasting.
Which type of abrasive blasting do I need?
It depends on the surface and the coating. Craig assesses the job and recommends the gentlest method that will do it in a reasonable time.
Is abrasive blasting safe?
Yes, with the right protective equipment, containment and silica-free media. The coating being removed, such as old lead paint, is assessed first.
Not sure which method?
Every surface is different. Craig assesses the job, tests where needed, and recommends the most cost-effective method — even when that means telling you what not to do.
