Looks like they timed the blast and repaint to perfection; before the (epoxy) paint breakdown and loss of steel. Lot of berthed time for those young barnacles but a big resulting slip.Great job.

[@Mobileblaster]

[@picklepee2771]

I work in Newport News Shipbuilding and yup, you're correct. Better to blast and spray BEFORE the paint coating breaks down.

[@nicksmith2468]

You made it look easy...again great job

[@Mobileblaster]

😊👌👍

[@vrodkris]

Here is NACE Level 3 inspector notes : 1) Scrape all Barnacles and loose growth off the hull first 2) Pressure wash the hull fresh potable water @ 3000 PSI 3) Now you are ready to blast, Remember prior to coating application to test steel hull with a CSN test kit or a the least use a Kittagwa tube. For Soluble Salts. Should be no more than 3 PPM soluble salts. The CSN tests for chlorides,Sulfates,Nitrates. Blasting all the marine Growth and unwashed hull contaminates into the steel is not recommended as it imbeds in the steel and painting over it is a major cause of coating failure. Any coating Data sheet should outline this ,and prior to work commencing should be reviewed with coating applicators.

This is a nice little set up. When larger vessels are done with multiple blasters we'll use double or triple the air volume at similar pressures. Sandblasting is the fun part. Painting sucks until its all done and looks pretty lol

[@johnmitchell5351]

Hey mick a good run of work there ,I used to blast and paint on the gas holders ,there was 2 of us would spend a couple of hours under the hood and then a quick clean up and prime paint , the good thing about blasting is no other prep work before paint and it looked good as well

Thank you 😊

[@billkea7224]

I thought the UK had banned sand for blasting. I love your setup. I hope that is supplied air you are using.

[@Mobileblaster]

Yeah its been banned since the 60s I only use approved medias the media I used hear was iron silicate (silica free) yeah I filled air from the compressor its grade D air poor air but better than neet air from a Compressor as thats not breathable

[@MegaBait1616]

Question : why would sand blasting be banned ?? I know they have crazy laws and rules like paying for watching TV, anti-guns, heavily taxed, arrested for posting on the net, ect. but sand blasting ?? thanks be well.

[@Mobileblaster]

@MegaBait1616 yeah to use as a media as its got free sillica (sillica sand/kiln dry sand) tests was done and they found its a lead course for silicosis its best just to use approved media's that way they can tax us properly on the media instead of sweeping up some grit off the ground and siving the dirt and using free media 😂

[@americanrambler4972]

What becomes of the blast media you use on the job? Is it one and done, or is the media recovered, cleaned and reused? Or can it be used for other tasks? That looks like a fair amount of left over stuff to just send to a land fill with no other applicable use.

[@Mobileblaster]

Once and done for me it's oready a waste product finding another use it comes from the ground they processes it get what they want from it then bag this for us to purchase

[@donnaarnault1472]

Thanks

[@Mobileblaster]

Thank you I appreciate that 😊👌👍

[@George-hl3qj]

Hello my friend. What kind of sand-blasting medium did you use? Another question, is it possible or cost-effective to collect or save the sand again? I think is not possible like when you work in a workshop.

[@Mobileblaster]

Crushed glass or iron silicate I believe this was iron silicate. It would be possible but eat up a lot of time my idea was im hear to blast so I try and do as much blasting as possible and collecting media would make the job a lot longer

[@artnautica1]

Well done.!! Surprisingly little dust is created when you are biasting. Is it because of the blasting material?

[@Mobileblaster]

More likely that I'm the 1 paying for the media so I try to only use what I need 😬👍👌

[@bundles987]

Just outta curiosity what happens to all that stuff you blasted off that ended up in the floor? Are you responsible for sweeping it up or do they do it once they are finished repainting it?

The steel hull of my 35ft ex RN harbour launch was sand/gritblasted 10 years ago. The dust was incredible. What system is this?

[@Mobileblaster]

Probably the same system but an operator that's paying for the media not a worker that's not interested in optimization 😂👍 some people think more media is faster I believe letting the air do the work 😎👌 the is a sweet spot too lean and your diesel bill will be on the high side or too rich and your media will be eaten up too quick

[@jeffdunstan]

very interesting video. im a spraypainter but ive never sand blasted before. Is it difficult to hold the hose with all that pressure?? im going to be at a job that does blasting and painting. any advice you can give is appreiated

[@markbrooke4100]

Top job, looks the dogs bollocks 👍🙏

[@Mobileblaster]

It did come up nice this 1 😊

[@jmacdonald4681]

Do you ever need to prewash anything? typically any grease or oil substances would be solvent cleaned prior to blasting to avoid embedding the oil into the steal causing adhesion issues later on.

[@Mobileblaster]

It would help but not essential as the blaster will remove most to all of anything on the serface

[@DEmma1972]

[@Mobileblaster]

It was around 18x 25kgs bags so 450/500kgs if memory serves could have been less. I really like crushed glass it's cheap and fast cut. Iron silicate is 2nd choice only reason been its slightly faster cut and a deeper profile but in my opinion not worth dubble the money per bag only on really the odd jobs or if I have some left over and Im trying to keep stock fresh 👍

R'reet Mick, Big buggers them Dutch barges eh! Are they restricted as to where they can go on the canals & rivers? How long have they got to treat/paint it before it starts to flash rust again. Great job as always mate.

[@Mobileblaster]

I'm not sure about the canal systems I think they can go almost everywhere the narrow 1s do but I'm unsure to be fair. Depending on the humidity it could last weeks like that even months but my advice is get atlases some primer over it as soon as possible usually the next day 👍 some days if I can get done in a reasonable time frame the lads stop over to get a coat onit the same day but I think this was painted the following day

[@tonymccaffrey9025]

is there much difference between the power plus nozzle and standard nozzle? I've got 400 cfm thanks 👍

[@Mobileblaster]

Yes definitely worth the investment and I like to see a different when I spend money but you will find it hard to find the 950 needed for 400cfm I've got the 850 and the next hit is 1050 ya need 500cfm I believe for that. Don't fall for the sales pitch of they add power that's bolx but they do add reach well they keep the cone tighter for longer so it will feel more power as the overspray is reduced and the hotspot is hotter 👌👍 they add about ft extra reach compared to a standard nosel

[@mikepalm6452]

Mick i just wondered how come it does not start going to start rusting before you get any primer on the metal...

[@Mobileblaster]

Depending on the humidity and if you can keep the steel dry it will last days even weeks before flash rusting appears I've had an old lambretta frame sitting in the unit for almost a year and it was still fine obviously the type of metal plays a part in this as cast iron flash rusts near instantly after blasting with very little humidity. But rolled steel seams to have a good resistance to flash rusting

[@peterwestgrove]

Nice to hear the voice of someone from 'home'... I'm curious, have you considered using a laser? Or is it too expensive?

[@Mobileblaster]

😊👌👍 yeah I've looked into these and the costs involved plus the cut rate is super slow the technology isn't quite ready to rival a sandblaster even if it did do a similar job to a blaster the energy needed wouldn't make it feesable just yet. I believe it will be the future but not for a good time yet 👍

[@jackdbur]

A laser doesn't provide a profile for your paint to grip to media blasting makes a rough surface for paint to get maximum adhesion to the steel

It seems like you forgot to use a high pressure washer before sandblasting... A big no no..and especially if it has sailed in salt water.... Otherwise: Nice work and boat 🙂

[@Mobileblaster]

Whys it a no no? I'm shooting clean media not reusing the media that's the only reason I can see it been a problem 🤔

[@vinegum8835]

@@Mobileblaster I know many people thinks that... so: Because you are shooting salt and other substances (grease) into the steel and especially when using grit. Worked many years as a certified blaster/ painter on oil rigs and on land, and the way to find out the right conditions within spec, is to measure: Purity, steel roughness and humidity by taking samples. (Moisture meter, purity fluid test etc Including condense in the blaster, air, temperature. This is on a microscopic level, but still critical. You should also try to keep a greater blasting distance when possible for best results. Purity and economically.. (Excuse my English)

[@Mobileblaster]

@vinegum8835 distance will be determined by the cfm and psi and the nosel if I pull back anymore the hotspot would be weeker so in turn slower progress. When blasting with clean media so long as the steel is clean it's way more than the paint manufacturer recommends. Blasting will remove all contamination (old paints salts filler canal silt algi etc etc) steel profiling or moisture screening isn't applicable even the paint manufacturer doesn't spec a mesh grade. All it says is to remove flacky lose paints and key the serface. And they put a 4 year warranty on the product if they are so confident in their serface preparation instructions I'm sure going well over board by removing all the old pint and in turn getting a mesh grade profile perfect for most to all paint based coatings will be expectable 👌 off shore blasting is a different kind of blasting I know this as I've blasted the control bases for wind turbines before and the specs needed was on another level 😏

[@vinegum8835]

​ A warranty means nothing if you have a greasy underlay, humidity in the hose or air. Offshore or inland makes no difference.and frankly, I'm surprised that you'r even questioning these facts. Anyway, it's not critique, just suggestions so just keep doing what you do, it will not corrode immediately, but you would never pass a job without washing first here in Norway... 🙂 All the best and thank's for sharing!

[@Mobileblaster]

@vinegum8835 it really makes no difference whatsoever if its been washed off beforehand or if the blast pipe has moisture init well if the steel is brilliant bright white then that's should tell any blaster that it's acceptable also leaving millscale is acceptable. If you had moisture in the lines you wouldn't be able to get a clean finish it would oxidise and leave the job tea stain colour same if salts was still present. Washing the job off before would only make any difference if the splash was fired directly on to another area that's been blasted and wasn't rectified but I wouldn't get paid if I left such areas. And take steps to blast at an angle to push the crap away. If a paint manufacturer is offering a 4 year warranty with vague preparation instructions then that tells me going over the top will indeed be good enough

[@konsul2006]

This is an amazing technique, but has to be so boring to do. This task would be the perfect one (static) for a robot!!!

Hi..how do you price your work and can we see your blasting set up?

[@Mobileblaster]

I work out how much my rig is costing then I add a labour charge I can live on and feed my family that's how I work my pricing out. 👍

[@nicksonintai1938]

@@Mobileblaster what grit are you using? I see not much dust in the air. We are here using GMA garnet and normally a lot of dust produce

[@Mobileblaster]

@@nicksonintai1938 iron silicate 👍

[@nicksonintai1938]

Okay..thanks for the sharing. Must be a good grit. Minimal dust and I see it is easy for you to work alone. Here I need at least 1 pax to stand by the blasting pot because the garnet is always stuck in the pot and does not flow smoothly. By the way, we are doing work in South East Asia. Glad to have seen your videos.

@nicksonintai1938 scrap the extra man and use dry filtered media much better flow 👍

Why is he going in an up en down movement instead off sideways. Less movement of the arms resulting in aches.

[@Mobileblaster]

If I did side to side high up my shoulders would burn if I take small bites as I'm working my way across its not so bad giving my arms chance to recover 👍
