Recycled Crushed Glass(RCG) 40/70 or 70/100. For wood you want to use a finer mesh, to course and it removes to much material, to high pressure same effect. Low media feed rate and around 40-50 PSI works for me. He’s using a Fan nozzle which is correct, probably a #5 maybe #6. I use a #7 (7/16”) I have a 375 CFM compressor. You need a high capacity air source to sustain this type of continuous blasting. The finish on this door is unique to media blasting! Joe DBTX
@@davidbird9851 you'd be using a mini roller on this. Then option to lay it off with a flat brush. It will look like glass if using a clear polyurethane
Wonder how a wood door would look to age it with the sand blaster. Give it a look like some blast driftwood or signs, and then seal with a no gloss sealer.
@@extremecarpetcareandrestor9062 Missed the reply from a while back. Thanks for that. I've figured out it would be cheaper just to have all the doors and frames replaced than trying to blast and fix them. I've got a little cabinet blaster, nothing more satisfying than bead blast parts clean!
I would really like to see the texture of the wood up close after sandblasting. I thought you couldn't use a sandblaster to remove paint from wood because the wood is softer than the paint and any media harsh enough to strip the paint would completely destroy the surface of the wood.
This blaster is not using bicarbonate soda. If you have ever used or seen anyone blasting with bicarbonate soda there would be a white cloud and powder everywhere, there is no mistaking!
Hi can you please tell me what sandblasting machine you are using please and what compresor you are using for this job. Please I need to buy the same exact what you are using such as machines and materials please. I would really appreciate the help . I have like 20 doors to restore
It depends on what sandblasting you're gonna do.The best way could be air sodablasting or maybe better dry-ice blasting,which leaves the surface smooth.
@@gasparepipitone1226 It can if you use the wrong media , wrong pressure and the distance that you are from the object... when we blasted this door we used extra fine media at low pressure . It left the door with a 100-120 grit sand paper finish
Probably rough as hell but for a first round of sanding that's like putting a 40 grit to it depending on how hard or how far you are spraying . So much easier than stripping or anything else lol
If Lead..need to legally be licensed... I am about to pay an abatement sub to do this to 50+ historical windows on my job. Historical renovation job. Be interesting to see. I am told they can use dry ice to sandblast? Never seen it before
