Hi Mick, I do love your work, and your so helpful and open with all your tips, Thankyou x

[@Mobileblaster]

Thanks 👍 I just found it hard starting out as I had no one to ask even on the small stuff. Now I believe I'm experienced enough to be that guy who helps other out 👌

[@wcsd9577]

Cleaned up nicely. Great work.

[@roydawson4882]

Very nice job Mick,a bit better than crawling about under a boat on the wet floor e.g. , stay safe m8.

[@Mobileblaster]

Yeah if im honest I think beams are my favourite sometimes just depends how quickly they clean up as they can be a pain in the neck looking up for a long time with a helmet on and holding the pipe at a hight that's not natural. I Liked this job because they was just at the comfort zone and clean rate was good 😁

BEAUTIFUL JOB nuff said 😎

[@Mobileblaster]

Mate it's unbelievable what people say about blasting. They hear a horror story and it spreads like wildfire only if people knew the was good operators out hear 💞

[@MikeWilliams-yp9kl]

I seen lots of blasterin work , your jobs are great even a little scary, like the tanker job But finish amazing looking KEEP ON GOING 😎

[@Mobileblaster]

@@MikeWilliams-yp9kl Thank Q I appreciate that. Yeah I've just completed another road tanker but didn't film it as its basically the same job.

[@kevgermany]

Good job. I love wood. Hate seeing it covered up with gungy paint.

[@Mobileblaster]

Thank Q 😊 must say its one of my favourite job to do

[@DEmma1972]

Only thing I could think of that happened to wood being blasted is the very outer surface grain being grazed. But wood needs to breath and covering it with gloss paint or tar will surely cause more damage anyway. Very old timbers will be almost as hard as iron if they have been looked after

[@Mobileblaster]

Your spot on old timer is hard stuff blasting will open the grain up but done right nothing near as much as sanding by hand as I can get into areas without taking the high areas down to match.

Quality Job pal 👍🏽👍🏽

[@mdouglaswray]

Gorgeous result! A little oil and it will last forever.

[@Mobileblaster]

I've a little cheap trick pva + water do a sample let it dry keep adding pva till ya get the clear shine of your choice. Pva just puts a lovely clear skin that adds a little shine nothing too much 😉 it will let the wood move and breath

[@michaelcapone5841]

Mick, what equipment do you use? I’m starting a project in Portugal and your gear looks perfect.

[@Mobileblaster]

This was done with a presure pot backed by 260cfm compressor 👍

[@aloggins69]

Nice job.. Glad to see you again. Hope you are getting enough work because it seems the jobs are getting shorter.

[@Mobileblaster]

I have been called up for jury service so I've been trying to limit the videos clips I've got. It could be 2 weeks off work 😳 possibly more if I get put on a trial towards the end of my stint. I actually wanted to do it for the experience I've never been in a court so thought it would be a once in a lifetime chance as I don't ever plan on been on the other side haha

[@DEmma1972]

@@Mobileblaster ive done jury service twice now. Hope you get a good case and not a money laundering 1 or something like that.

[@Mobileblaster]

@@DEmma1972 it's only after thinking about it I don't quite want to hear anything bad I don't really know what to expect 😳

[@DEmma1972]

@@Mobileblaster I think if its ...like to do with children or a murder, you can opt out of it if you believe you mentally wont be able to cope

[@Mobileblaster]

@@DEmma1972 I was excited at first then finking about it I was a little scared about that what if. One in our room sat for 2 week and on the last day had a 2 week trial and he's back in again. A fink I would be well pissed off 4 weeks off work then a year or so later back again to do it all over.

[@apod5357]

Hi Mick, could you advise on what sandblasting kit and air compressor I need to achieve this, so much contradictory info online, very confusing and frustrating. I need to buy the right kit, that will do the job. Thanks

[@Mobileblaster]

It's like buying a car they all do the job just that some models suit your needs better your better off speaking to a sales rep with your requirements 👌👍

[@Moh4n95]

Nice work Mick I know from out experience blasting oak wood you to be carefully with to not blast damage the texture from the oak I don't understand why people paint oak wood these are beams but still need to be carefully with it mistakes are fast made.

[@Mobileblaster]

Yeah like any blasting job it's possible to cause alot of damage really fast I will be the first to admit not done right can reck the job. That's why the full industry gets a bad name people try and fail then the ones that can and do have to try and recover faith but it's hard to change someone's opinion trust me I've been trying for years

[@Moh4n95]

@@Mobileblaster I know what you mean there are a lot cowboy blasters who just trying damage a lot because they don't have experience enough they just blast to blast to getting paid they don't care about the finished job they ruining it for the professional blasters the cowbow blaster go under the prices prices from the pro's. The thing what you can do against is mick explain to customer why should hiring you and not someone that for example 300 is cheaper then you are try to explain so simple and most understandingble to customer what you going to and how going to work and document a lot from your jobs like quality before and after pictures so the customers can see he's is the right man for this kind of job he knows what he going to do and make sure you explain its passionate to the customer. These are so far my tips that can give you .I'm sure if make your self uneek then other then those cowboy blasters they pick you instead then.

[@Trohawkk]

crushed glass nice

[@Mobileblaster]

Yeah its good stuff 👌

[@Jeffsmess]

What media did you use to clean the wood so quickly and not damage it?

[@Mobileblaster]

It was the finest grade crushed glass @ 0/0.2

[@markbrooke4100]

Nice work, hopefully it will not get painted over again, unless wood goes out of fashion again and the merry go round starts all again

[@Mobileblaster]

😂 I know it's weird how that works I personally think clean untreated wood looks fresh and I would love some beams in my house I like seen them

[@RoomFourError]

You have to shake your head when the "experts" have their tongues wagging.

[@Mobileblaster]

Very controversial topic for some as they believe its against the English heritage listed buildings rules. Takes some talking and alot of messing about but I've done a few listed buildings and monuments in my time as a blaster all with good reviews 😉

[@jdaspects]

I want that nozzle!

[@Mobileblaster]

Oooo mate ya would be spoilt haha its in its own eliminate when reach is a must. Don't be fooled with the sales pitch it doesn't add any more power all it dose is keep the hotspot for a longer distance. Cons the don't last as long as a standard and they are around 3 to 4x more expensive so it's a fair trade off definitely worth having if blasting is your main job though 👍
