What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

[Slowguy]

One more with an “almost” after. Not today but last week. What I was talking about when I said never ending cleaning!

TIA,

It’s just sand but also wet blast. Nice finish, clumps up occasionally, uses a lot of sand and makes a mess. Ran out of sand so I didint get to finish completely that day. Next bout will finish for sure.

Thank you .

I live in town and so cannot sand/bead blast .

I'm pondering buying a soda blasting nozzle from Harbor Freight for some smaller items .

Soda would be nice for delicate stuff and may even work for the frame but I think you’d need much more volume to do rusty old steel like this. When the sand flowed well it peels back the years like nothing. Wet is actually messy but kinda nice. If one was to better control the environment (like I did not) I would imagine it would be much less of a mess. A tarp my have been nice to place beneath.

The frame was the only piece of my truck I had someone else do and only because it soda blasted. Such a nice job to go over with primer. I blasted about 1000lbs of sand and put tarps down but wasn't very successful at recovering product. As you blast you blow away the sand on the tarp. Good work thou.

Is that one of those power washer wands that mixes sand with high pressured water to wet blast the rust away? How did it work out for you? How long to clean your frame?
