STAGGER Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Does anyone know of a sandblasting place around the New Braunfels aera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie49 Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 The closest sandblasting shop I know is on I-10 Just east of San Antonio. I think there is a welding shop on FM725 that may do sandblasting. Are you needing just some small parts done or something big like a car frame or such?

JamesHigdon Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 There is a place in San Antonio over by the AT&T center that does sand blasting and powder coating, if you are looking for a little better longer lasting finish then this could be a very good option. We used them on our Formula car's chassis, suspension and numerous other components and where more then happy with the results, if your interested I will get you the info. Whatever you do, DO NOT use the little shop in Boerne, I can't remember the name but they have destroyed entire cars in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyhorse Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 alot of times when you bead (sand) blast you pit or dent or just plain distort thin gauge metal......sand blasting will leave an abrasive surface that will never give you a sheen finish again with out a high build primer before you paint............i'm guessing that is what he meant by destroyed. ...........i was wrong , it is called 'aircraft remover' i think.............on something that small that would be what i'd do , but what do i know?

txtom Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Jason, Shawn has the best answer for you here, blasting thin sheet can distort the metal if it is done incorrectly. That product he mentioned, "Aircraft Stripper' is available in aerosol or liquid, and is my personal favorite stripper. (Paint, that is) I think brushing the liquid on and hitting it with scotchbrite pads, while time consuming, will give you a better result after you paint it. sorry i was joking.... back in school we joked and would always say h e double hockey sticks to not get in trouble... Crap, now I guess I got to watch what the hell I say on this damn board................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
