work and cold weather got me set back , hoping to blast bottom paint off this weekend

 

[mickyryan]

the water pressure washer sand blaster worked like a charm, 30 years and several coats of bottom paint gone
used multipurpose sand from home depot took 20 60 lb bags, but its clean and ready for repairs and new coating

 

[sphelps]

pressure washer sandblaster ?

 

[oldrem]

pressure washer sandblaster ?

Was wondering the same - did a search and found numerous companies make wet sand attachments for pressure washers

 

[mickyryan]

Yep mtm was one i used with a 4000 psi pressure washer

 

[mickyryan]

5hrs i was done

That might be a useful tool to pick up. Interesting. Any issues with clogging?

 

[mickyryan]

yeah but not bad at all it was usually when i had dropped wand to do something and a bit of water traveled back , other then that it blew through sand like nobody's business, also you can tell the sound changes pitch when its getting sad so thats helpful too i have let the sun dry it for the last week so getting ready to start fixing spots , trying to decide my color scheme I'm torn dark blue or i might repeat same colors i did on monishka i like the burgundy and tan

 

[mickyryan]

Trying to decide if i should reflip boat before spraying sides or just spray sides and bottom then flip, i would hate to scratch the paint flipping
cant decide on what to use on sides
i will be spraying of course but i think i want a thick paint that's super glossy i saw the quantum 99 stuff anyone have any suggestions? i used acrylic exterior on last boat its going on three years looks as good as i first put it on but i would like to do this glossy for a change

Micky, I tried that and it didn't work. Family and I flew to St. Lauderdale last week thinking that the weather up here in Western PA had to improve by the time we got back.....did not happen and I'm in the same boat as KC this weekend (the boat that neither of us can work on). lol

[mickyryan]

LOL I be just happy to find a house here on a lake with a dock on it. Our weather is usually boating weather 10 months of the year on a normal year. It dont got to be 90 to use a boat.

 

[mickyryan]

well shes painted just need to let it cure and then touch up a few minor spots and its set to go thinking of putting a keep guard all the way down since that's the part that sits on rollers most of the time , thoughts?
