Removing years of old paint and crap off this boat by SandBlasting it! ASMR

[@johnedwards1685]

I’m astonished how nicely that hull came up. Beautiful blasting job, the owner must be thrilled. No nasty rust patches, scabbing or pitting. Seems to have a better paint coat than the stuff they slap on narrowboats.

[@Mobileblaster]

😊👌👍

[@pobvic]

The sacrificial anodes seem to have been doing their job alongside the hull coating, I was impressed as well.

[@lpsowns]

Stunning work as usual!

[@keen1957]

I was watching a channel the other day and the guy was using a water sand blaster. No dust! How nice is that. It’s always great watching the process either way. Dirty/ clean.

[@Mobileblaster]

If it is a sandblaster that's had water then it is a messy process and a lot more work plus more money as the chemical needed will get into the waterway system although you can get eco-friendly chemicals it is even more expensive. Doing it this way the waste can be scooped up easily enough and disposal isn't that expensive 😊👌👍

[@bestjuliawest]

You have the loveliest Yorkshire accent. And the boat turned out almost as lovely 😋

[@Mobileblaster]

😊👌👍

[@jimsvideos7201]

Nice of the customer to decide how much they wanted done while you were still in the middle of it, rather than halfway packed up and thinking about your supper.

[@BarryRudge]

More likely the boss had seen he was just doing up to the waterline and went to clarify the the whole hull had to be cleaned. There was no mention of the customer

[@Mobileblaster]

I got there early and knew I was blasting this boat just unsure if I was going to the water line or all the way up so I made a start the boat yard worker came and let me know the full job spec 👍

[@robertmcleod2337]

They ( who ever hired you) doesn’t even want to get the bumpers out of the way, drop the anchor or anything to help get it done quicker and easier. None the less great job, looks nice after

[@Mobileblaster]

😅 I'm not fussy I can work round that sort of stuff it just makes it a tad harder for the painter as he will have to sand the areas that I couldn't hit 😬

[@cobrellie]

My thoughts exactly …

[@vladimirvlasov4360]

What is this little lock-like device you put on a nozzle?

[@Mobileblaster]

That's the lamp 👌

[@johnrimmer5955]

Another fantastic update mate. Got to ask Mick did you complete this task in one day ?

[@Mobileblaster]

Yeah 👌

[@WHYKICKAMOOCOW100]

Hi Mick, would it be at all possible to give us an idea of the length of time these jobs take by maybe setting up a clock to run from start to finish, that’s if it’s not too much agro

[@Mobileblaster]

I do have another video that's nearly ready to be uploaded and I do mention the times and what day it is into the job but the last time I did this I got a call from another blasting company saying I was giving potential customers false expectations he was convinced I was lying about my time scale I couldn't see his side unless he was putting himself in the same league as me. I can honestly say it takes years under the lid to make it look as easy as these videos make out. I have a mate who's a blaster and he's 10 year-ish experience but I wouldn't trust him to blast me anything he's good at doing what he does industrial items to the same spec day in day out he doesn't push his skills on a daily basis on other projects ie like boats brick wood stone etc etc I enjoy doing something different every day it keeps me ontop of my game 😊

[@DEmma1972]

lovely finish. Aluminium boat?

[@Mobileblaster]

Yeah it came up nicely normally this type of boat has a skin of filler but the steel was in really good shape and not needed much to my relief haha it was a steel hull 👍

[@Richard-ig3bz]

What pressure/CFM and grit are you using? Fantastic job!

[@Mobileblaster]

125psi @425cfm crushed glass

Great job. How much sand did you have to use to do that job?

[@storagewars]

Jai lu que tu utilises du verre concassé. Est ce que tu changes en fonction du materiau a nettoyer et peux tu recycler l'abrasif utilisé?

[@Mobileblaster]

I quote prior so it's down to my experience to do it in a timely manner I didn't do this on this job because I was earlier and knew I had to blast this boat so I made a start untill I got the full details of the job and no I don't reuse media as my way of looking at it if I spend 1 hour each fill it would be cheaper to use new I get that it would save money in media but its false economy on a job like this 👍

[@cindzz47]

How long did that take….love watching you

[@Mobileblaster]

It was done within the shift 😊👌👍

[@donovanschumacher3630]

how often do you run into lead paint? in the states when run into orange primer its probably lead. protect yourself. if its hot enough your nova 3 wont be enough. MSA is the way to go.

[@Mobileblaster]

@donovanschumacher3630 lead has been banned since the 60s. I did not on this job as it was made after this time but I do have test kits on the truck I did a quote a few weeks back and when I did the test it indeed said lead was present I could do the job but it adds alot of costs ie dubble tenting with a decomposition system and the clean up cost are astronomical more than likely the reason I've not got the job but if I'm honest I could do without the messing about 😂

[@bkvdpw]

Don't you love a mid-job change-of-scope?!? No big deal, really . . . it just doubled the amount of surface area. :) Should make a difference in fuel consumption once it's done. Nice job.

[@Mobileblaster]

@bkvdpw haha not to worry it's only dubble the amount of work haha 😆 I was lucky it didn't have a skin of filler as I've done these before and that dose take alot of gear and time to complete

[@SocialistChampagne]

@@Mobileblaster did you charge for the extra work or take it on the chin?

[@Mobileblaster]

@SocialistChampagne I didn't have a job sheet for this boat untill the painter turned up they know what my prices are so it's just a matter of saying what wants doing 👍

[@ourfarmhouseinspain]

Mick, you will obviously have developed working postures that are comfortable when blasting the undersides of boats so please excuse the presumption of this question, but have you considered modifying a mechanics trolley of the type that rolls under lorries ? I was thinking of your back, and getting older ....... Best regards, and good luck

[@Mobileblaster]

@ourfarmhouseinspain the wheels would get snagged on the pipes and crud I find comfortable spots by wedging the pipe somewhere and trying to hit as much area in that position then repeat 😊

[@ourfarmhouseinspain]

@@Mobileblaster Thank you for your reply. There's never an easy solution to this sort of thing until someone comes up with an obvious one, but what that might be...... Do you wear a belt for your back in strained positions, or would that restrict movement too much - if you've tried one, that is ? Best regards

[@75700neo]

This looks like my Palma 40, Dutch steel boat.

[@Mobileblaster]

Have you just had it blasted? 😂

[@75700neo]

@@Mobileblaster no I got it for free. Because they did not take care of it ,its in need of major work .

[@andrewlyke3973]

Just wondering what quantity of grit it took to do the job?

Soda wouldn't do this work that's like trying to sand with wet and dry when you need 40 grit sand paper 👍

[@obfuscated3090]

Brilliant job monetizing videos of getting paid to blast. I never met honest revenue I didn't like, and your vid gives prospective blasters an idea of what the gear can do. Viewers in the US should note if you want sufficient air and cannot get or don't wish to bleed money paying to run three phase to your house then be billed at commercial rates, you can do as I did. I had a new service installed for my shop (before building it so I'd have an outdoor service panel with 120 and 240v outdoor outlets) then powered my rotary phase converter (simple things you can build yourself, buy a kit and score your own motors, or buy used or new) off that then my two industrial compressors off the converter. Starting one at a time permits the first motor to support the second (when used for blasting, else I just run one) for even easier starting. I connect using red hose and Chicago couplings which is also how I plumbed my shop with no permanent pipe. I no longer rent but that's ideal for renters who wish to take their entire investment with them when they move. I do it for the gloriously easy install and reconfig, the hose rests in simple torch bent hooks on the wall of my steel building. The compressors are on rolling dollies with scaffolding casters because one key reason old men get less done is moving things for cleaning or to add or remove equipment is so difficult. Put the lot on wheels and it's very low effort. If you are adding power for an electric car charger you can run SOOW cord and twistlock connectors off that to get more use from the charger outlet. If you "wish" you had industrial equipment study a bit and you can buy good used gear for the price of offshore consumer junk. I have never cried myself to sleep over having better equipment than the minimum.

[@Mobileblaster]

If only it was worth the investment for the monetization if I put the hours into a minimum wage job I would be far better off I enjoy making the videos and it was the reason for me to continue to find work I was at a point that blasting wasn't for me untill I started youtube 😬 I'm sure everyone hits a point were they want to rag in 😂
