@@NovokNagyra I don’t have any video of it but it’s very basic. The inside is easy because there is minimal paint on the surfaces, I just blast it from outside the car leaning in. As long as there is enough room for me to slide under the car and move my hose around I can do it. It really helps to have the car up on jackstands though.
@@NovokNagyra No I didn’t get it. They decided to just get new siding. It was for the best because the wood was kind of moist under the paint and did not hold up well to blasting. When I run the test I time how long it took and what the square footage is and then base the price off that. This job would have been well over $30k and then they would have to stain the wood.
@@NovokNagyra Yes this job was dry blasting. That is about 95% of my jobs because I don’t like wet blasting because of the mess, wet sand all over you and it’s very heavy to cleanup.
You should do a video showing how you clean up and what you do with yout blast pot when you are done blasting. No one ever mentions if the pit should be empty after blasting or if you can leave sand in it. Im especially curious about it when it comes to wet blasting.
@@MrYz250fman Good idea I will have to try that. I usually give the customer a better price if they clean up themselves, but I do have a guy that does all my cleanup work when necessary. You can absolutely leave sand in the blast pot in between jobs. If you are wet blasting, you should not let water and sand sit in the blast pot for more than two weeks. I blast wet about 10% of the time so it’s not a big issue for me. Most times I just run the blast pot until I’m out of sand. If I’m close to the end of a job, I may only add one bag of sand instead of three for the last 10 to 15 minutes.
@@MrYz250fman Thanks for the feedback! Right now I’m posting the same video on all social media platforms. Eventually, I will get sophisticated enough where I will do a longer video for RU-vid and then shorter ones for Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
saw you on the dustless blasting podcast and just watched all of your videos, wondering if youd be willing for me to reach out about the business. I am in southern Texas so no competition haha
I had to refill my water tank many times! I load the blast pot with about 250 pounds of sand and 20 gallons of water. That will allow me to blast for about an hour. This job used about 30,000 pounds of sand so you can imagine how much water.
this was a very difficult cleanup process because there were lots of flowers and shrubs to navigate around in the flowerbeds. The sand had to be picked up in 5 gallon buckets and carried over to the back of a truck.
I hire a guy to do the cleanup. Most of the sand will stay in the pool so the first thing he does is sweep the perimeter and get all of it inside the pool. Then he simply carries it out in 5 gallon buckets to a wheelbarrow and takes the wheelbarrow to the back of his truck.
I would say this one took about four hours to blast the wall and about two hours to clean up. This was just a test on one wall and they haven’t ended up moving forward on the whole house yet.
I would just use sand or crush glass. I have tried walnut shells before and don’t think it’s really necessary to go to all that trouble and expense. Just start at a really low psi like 50 and work your way up. I have no idea how much it would take to do 1000 ft.².
Great videos. Keep up the great work. I am also looking into getting into the business (years from now once I decide it's time for a change in career). Thank you for the insight. It really helps to better frame the different types of work there is available. I have a few questions if you wouldn't mind. Now that you have your equipment, do you wish you went to a bigger or smaller size? Do you think it would be worth it to get the social media package? And lastly regarding finding jobs. Are there more than enough jobs available, or are they hard to find at times? Thank you again and I look forward to hearing from you.
@@Flash_Em Thanks! Glad you like them. Check out my interview with Dustless Blasting and I think it will answer most of your questions. If you have any others please give me a call on my business number and we can talk. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b1pYX35imbs.htmlsi=JsJ8ESF4vdEGiIkY
Hi, I would need to blast the entire door even if I just did the crevices, that would keep everything even. Think of it kind of like spray painting with an eraser. It’s hard to get a perfect edge.
Good job buddy! I’m thinking about blasting in upstate NY my wife says no but I think I should be able to find enough work to keep me going.im going to try and find a few jobs before buying machine and insurance.well good
@Bisonblasting Oh, I see! Thank you for the info, sir. I live in San diego Ca, I saw one of your vid. you went on vacation here. Looks like your business is a good blessing. Thanks again, sir. Take care.
