Narrowboat SandBlasting 

🫡 thankyou 👌

😊 thank you 😁

Thank you 😊 yeah it was in good shape this boat 👌

Thank you 😊

😊👍

Welcome to the blast hood 😊 Yeah it will be something and nothing I'm sure 👌👍

😊 I it wasn't ideal I wanted this style switch for some time no one sells them in the UK or the ones that do want ridiculous prices 😒 I had to wait for this one as it was from overseas 👍

Dear @@Mobileblaster Overseas can be France too. Just a little hop over the channel. 😁 ;-) 2) You could at least have used a simple but safe switch that is commonly used on cords for lamps etc.. Best regards, luck, health and wisdom.

@Chr.U.Cas2216 a simple on off switch would work but far from safe the idea is that if you drop the pipe it cuts off 😄 that's the main reason I didn't fit 1 well to be honest I did fit 1 but it filled with dust and stopped working 🫣

@@Mobileblaster Thanks for replying, I appreciate this. 2) No doubt that a simply on/off switch would definitely have worked better than always have to cobble together 2 wires (and even show this in public)! Way too many utubers forget that they are in public and therefore have a responsibility. Lots of them are even seen as role models respectively their behaviour (even if wrong) is copied.

@Chr.U.Cas2216 These videos aren't a how too lots of ways to do the same job just how I do things isn't the only way or the right way if folk cannot make this out then they certainly shouldn't be operating this kind of rig.

😊👍

😊🫡👌👍

😊👍

They make the job a hole lot easier that's for sure. I'm really impressed with it 👌👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇦🇺

@Mobileblaster great job Mick 😉👌👍🦘🦘

@@scottkenzig5144 thanks mate 👌👍

Thank you 😊 👍

It's much easier to watch than do 😂😊

😊👌👍

These videos make it so people can actually watch what's going off because been near a blaster isn't a nice place to be. Infact when I've not got the lid on and I'm near someone blasting I cannot move away fast enough I really don't fink people understand how loud it really is 😏 I always say to anyone that's starting out seal an envelope put it in your pocket do a days blasting and then open it I can guarantee it will have some grit init 😂 can you imagine what the inside of my washer and dryer looks like 😂

@@Mobileblaster 😂✉

Thank you 😊

😊👌👍 it's hard to believe its so easy to take all the old crap off 😊

😊👌👍

Yeah they do do them but it's not as popular as the sides 👍

For Business Enquiries Please Email Info@MobileBlasting.co.uk Regards Mick

Thank you 😊

What a genius you are Mick! Always putting 100 and 10% into your work. Another brilliant job welldone! 👏👍

Yeah I have a box of spare valves but not 1 that fits that type haha I have plans for the compressor and it would be getting altered from a front mounted manifold👍

Yeah I cannot think of a faster way to get the same or better results for sarface prep. I cannot remember off the top of my head but it was done in the shift 5 to 7 hour ish

They do sell them but the costs involved wouldn't make a good business sense as I don't do boats all the time and I wouldn't have work for such a tool with my workload

I fink it's drawing air on the intake for the derv should be sorted soon 😊 thank you and yeah 👌👍😊

They do blast the underside but it's not as popular as the sides. Yeah I think it was drawing a bit of air in with the derv duno al sus it 😊

I don't believe dry ice has a massive work load or advantages over a standard pot yes it has a slot in the cleaning sector nut very limited as a soda blaster would work out a heck of a lot cheaper to buy and operate. Dry ice is good if its a very light clean that requires 0 media waste like cleaning food grade stuff in a factory that cannot be shut down but what's the chances of that job calling? In every other aspect a blaster can out perform and under cut a dry ice blaster. I've seen the vhp water jetters in action same again very nich line of work they do but invaluable to the right sector

If I'm allowed to say... dry ice is popular for deep cleaning purposes with cars and such, removing old layers of chassis protection, dried dirt, and grime, as well as cleaning of engines and engines internals and a few other low impact cases.

@mazevx2451 yeah very limited work load. I could say chemicals and steam would do that also soda would do the stubborn stuff I can only think of 1 task a blaster chemicals or steam wouldn't do is cleaning food grade factory's cleaning this would shine but again very limited work load out of all the years I've been operating I've only had 1 enquirie for this

I think it's drawing air on the filter housing when I've a bit of time I will find out 🫡 the base plate wasn't on the job sheet 😬

No mods just the same 👌 it uses approx 18/25L per hour 😫

The base plate is a separate job and not many people like the extra costs when they are built the sides tend to be 6mm and the base 10mm also if the steel isn't bobbing about in water mixing with oxygen it tends to last longer between service intervals than the sides 👍

I enjoy easy stuff but then again I enjoy projects that push my skills helps the day go faster if I've to concentrate 😂

👌👍 1050 (#10) minimum air requirement 550cfm at 100psi I would love a 950 (#9) but they have stopped making them for some reason I cannot find 1 anywhere I have 450 (#4) all the way to 1050 in all flavours xl fan win double venture and my favourite is 850xl because I have 425cfm at 125psi that's why a 950 would be the better option but as said not for sale anywhere

😬 oh nice 1 I will try that next time I've noticed that some jobs the lighting can affect the flicker but didn't know it was because of the hz 👌👍

I use a presure pot I cannot remember off the top of my head for time the media was crushed glass 😊👌👍

I use iron silicate and crushed glass the most saying that I'm using steel grit today not this job but the 1 I'm on at the moment 👍

@@Mobileblaster Hi Mick ! Thanks for your reply and explanations. You do a great job. Keep on. Best regards, Marc (France)

@@8s8video79 😊👌👍

I've a good idea that will benefit everyone stick with me I'm just putting cogs in motion as we talk ❤️

Hi it can very so much on average about 20x 25kgs some take more some take less its hard to day really. I cannot remember off the top of my head what this 1 used 👍

I have a continuous air feed from the compressor its filtered of course directly into the hood 👍

They do get done just that they arnt as popular as the sides 👍

I use the same stuff names have changed a little coal slag J blast iron silicate ( I call it the black shit when I order it 😂) I mainly use crushed glass but still like how fast the black shit cost and its ability to cut fast glass is slightly cheaper

Blasting leaves a perfect finish for repaint 👌👍

I've done them in the past but luckily that's not as popular as the sides 😊👌👍

Ideally as soon as possible but it would be fine for weeks even years if it's kept in a dry environment with very low or no humidity. In this environment its likely to last 2 or 3 days before it's passed it's flash point

Thanks 😊 I think it's drawing air on the derv intake pipe I will find the bugger 1 day haha

How much you reckon to get a specialist to diagnostic the compressor?

@philsheldon2737 I'm not sure to be honest I will keep at it till I find the fault I think it will be something to do with it grabbing air in with the diesel I will find it 😬

Great vlog again Mick. I hope you find the issue with your compressor and that it’s a simple, cheap fix👍

@gerryduffy6700 if it is what I think it may be its likely to be a penny or 2 I think a o ring on the filter housing I could be wrong just need abit of time to look at it and time is short at the moment it it will be for a little longer haha😳

😊 I'm sure you will find a skilled operator out there 👍

1/2" is 2 sizes too big for 250cfm to get optimal psi of 100psi I use 1/2" with 425cfm but that's only because I cannot find a 950 I can get 850 or 1050 just cannot get hold of a 950 I aim for 100psi

Yeah I've seen them and hope the technology can improve as it's a neat idea but the price of the unit and power needed cannot compair plus they take 100x longer than a blaster on comparable finishings even then they still need sanding to achieve a key for paint I like the idea and more options can only mean better thing for the customer few more year and they will eventually catch up

Doosan 7/120 425cfm and crushed glass or iron silicate is my weapon of choice 👌👍 usually done in a shift 👍

@@Mobileblaster 425cfm I'm guessing you got a huge pot in back of van.

@paulmiller6277 not really. Pot size don't really make a difference in performance it just give extra blast time between fills. Some small size pots that only hold 1 bag will perform the same as a 8/12 bagger so long as the internal and external pipe work is the same 👍

@YamanYamaner 1 your a fully grown man you don't have to watch me doing anything 2 Ryan cleans up.....its not so messy done right 3 my job is to remove the paint rust and crap leaving the surface ready for repaint those areas you talk about I would be wasting my time and money to do something that's not needed 👍

Nope they take very light off on this type of work you need a little more abrasive 👍

Just as you would imagine get laid on ya back and blast away 😬

Really impressed with it to be fair 👌

Unfortunately the technology isn't ready to remove this type of finishing on a scale that's 👍

You have to let it get to operating temperature before hitting the demand air button. Same with shutting it down you have to let it cool down before shutting it off

😏 if it is what I think it is its a very cheap and easy fix hopefully 😎

The boat yard clears it up 👌👍

@@Mobileblaster curious, what do they do with it?

@malcolmjennings8299 not sure i dont get involved with that side of things our deal is me blast and they clean and paint.

As soon as possible but it would last weeks even years if it stays dry but humidity starts the process so it all depends on how dry you can keep it

Sorry what?

I cannot remember off the top of my head but it could have been anywhere from 250kgs to 1000kgs sorry if that don't help I don't count the bags as I find it pointless like a say some jobs take what they take so long as it's done and the customer is happy 👌👍

haha Its defiantly not advised but it works for me :)

Every 4 year I believe👍

Yeah when the job sheet says to blast the base otherwise I only do what I'm asked to 😊👌👍

That's the steel 👍 when it's rolled it cools quicker on the outer edge leaving the milscale 👍

That's a separate job 👍

The blue ish tint is water vapour. Going on that info the media would have been made damp coursing clogs or a choke in the flow of media. I've since fitted a cooler and more water traps I don't have this issue anymore 👍

😂👌

I don't fink it was cold enough 🤔

Doosan operations manual says keep all doors closed as it grabs air and pulls it over and through vital areas like the after cooler also they use the doors a sound control 👍

Doors should be closed.

Well spotted I once had a bad reaction to gloves and it coursed me to slip as they got snagged so I much prefer the control without them I'm not saying it's the right thing to do but I feel more confident and in control without than with gloves. The dust is been collected... and I don't think there are any young children in a working boat yard that would be very irresponsible of the adult in care but what is responsible that all checks were taken before work commencing that lead wasn't present and recycled approved products were used 👍 As mentioned I do check for lead but hear in England lead has been banned since the 60s in production of paints so ive yet to find a 10 year old narrow boat to have such products onit also sillica has been banned since the 60s for use in free dry blasting. I definitely wouldn't advise been inside the Dock when blasting is getting done but it's none carcinogenic or toxic to the environment. Have you any more queries I may be able to help with?

Show me another method that you use that's quicker and I'm all in ready to invest 👍

Wasn't on this job sheet but hears a video with me doing the underside of a narrow boat 🙂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3HQoAxnaV6M.html
