[AT] I hate sandblasting!--but see this...(correction)

[Larry D. Goss]

If your inland beach is outside in Oklahoma, in a year it'll be a sand
dune on the outskirts of Ponca City.  That constant wind out of the
south will make it move regardless of how much your sheep try to weight
it down.  :-)

Just my 2 cents worth.  I had to paint a stock trailer earlier this
year.  
It had several different paint colors and several layers of paint in
addition 
to some of the steel panels were from old oilfield tanks that still had
a 
"paraffin"layer on them.  I started out with a Northern Hydraulics
sandblaster 
attachment with my 11hp 3500 psi pressure washer.  After 2  hours of
water 
blasting, I had used 600 lbs of sand, and only got tghe back  doors and
a 6 X 4 
panel cleaned.  I hooked up the old sandblaster, and in 6  hours had the
rest of 
the trailer done including the interior.  It was a  mess, but now is 
something I can pull without hanging my head.  I just  don't think you
can beat 
sandblasting dry.   I do mine under a big shade  tree.  The sheep love
laying in the 
sand later.  I am creating an  inland beach.
