Found your Chanel about a week ago & now binge watching every night 🤓 I always leave a thumbs up 👍🇬🇧

[@Mobileblaster]

Glad you are enjoying the content I appreciate you sticking a thumbs up not sure how it helps but KZbin prompts content creators to ask for likes and subscriptions my opinion on this is if you watch a video and like it, that's when it should be pressed if someone enjoys the channels content and wants to see the latest videos uploaded that's what the subscribe button is for I did fall for the prompting that youtube encourages but soon realise the best viewers are the one that reach out like your comment it means a lot more to me that you don't need prompts so thank you 😊👌👍

[@ianlitchfield9273]

@@Mobileblaster That was a fast reply 👍 just out of interest how long did it take to blast the container & how much grit did you use ? (In weight or bags, however its measured ?) Ive been in the motortrade most my life restoring vintage vehicles so I've taken hundreds of items to the blasters but never watched the process 👍🇬🇧

[@Mobileblaster]

@ianlitchfield9273 I was just heading to bed stud at the door waiting for the dog to do her business so I had my phone in my hand 😂 in all honesty blasting containers aren't really worth doing as the costs involved out price a good 2nd hand unit sometimes is false economy but this just happens to be a different story insurance paid out on the container and he got to keep the old 1 so didn't mind the costs. Inside and out I cannot remember off the top of my head but I would say around the 600kgs of media it could have been more or it could have been less like I say I cannot really remember 👍

So mesmerizing to watch. You have a very steady hand. Fantastic job. Keep on blasting on.

Hello from that northwest bit of Turtle Island you might know as Vancouver BC! This video was great. You cleaned down to the bare metal.... and then got a bonus coat of paint on! My only question is...what about the top of the can? I suspect other folks have already asked, so I'll check the comments. Sandblasting seems like a meditative gig. All the KZbin carpenters whinge about sanding. To me it's like a slightly cleaner sort of gardening. There's a smell, a taste, a rhythm, a sound, a feel, and shadows and sheen. The noise of the compressor and the safety gear likely take away some of the meditation. The weather seems like a fair trade: outdoors but maybe too warm or cold. As much as ASMR is fashionable, I'm as attracted to your channel by the blasting as I am by your soundtracks. While you might play whatever you like, the retrotechno on this video fits the gig. I prefer to see the bare surface of your metal items. I appreciate that some of your customers don't require 100% clean surfaces. I can always skip to the videos that get down to the OG material. The first time I heard the word "sandblasted" was in high school. I was listening to Frank Zappa's "Jewish Princess." That reference left me confused for years. My school principal also confused me because why I mixed up sandblasting with stucco. My school was in a graffiti battle with another school up the hill. Our principal got on the tannoy and told us that our antics were costing the school district in sandblasting costs. One day I saw the repair in progress and it wasn't being cleaned. A worker was up on a cherry picker with a bucket of stucco mix. They were flinging a trowelful at a time at the painted part of the wall. Most of the mix fell onto the ground. I didn't think that was blasting anything. The first time I saw proper sandblasting was on Hand Tool Rescue a few years back. It seemed like overkill on parts that could be cleaned by stripping fluids and wire brushes or wheels. Then I saw ship maintenance videos and felt like that was more like it. Anyways, thanks for the content and I hope your gigs are as satisfying as they look!

[@Mobileblaster]

Thank you 😊 yeah some customers don't require deep clean and to stay competitive on price I've to find the balance of just enough 👌 I enjoy the blasting more than painting so I try to stay clear of paint 😬

[@davidschank956]

Hay there mick.! It looks like your getting into the painting business to.! Hope your charging for that to.!

[@Mobileblaster]

Nar it's only a rare occasion I try to stay away from painting if I'm honest I don't enjoy it as much as blasting and I don't like that haha

[@stephensmith1984]

Hey there mick,gritblaster/metalsprayer/ painter from nz,is the electric deadman a choice over air,have only used electric once myself

[@Mobileblaster]

Eyup mate I would pick electric over air because it starts alot quicker and stops just as quick plus the wire is lighter and less chance it snagging on stuff 👌👍

[@truthseekerreal1]

Could you do a video on your POT set up, i am in Iraq and have a contract part of is blast cleaning to SA2.5

[@Mobileblaster]

I'm not a how too channel unfortunately 👌👍 if you can take anything from the videos please do so but I'm not saying what I do and how I do it is the only way what works for me may not work for you and alot can go wrong very fast 👍 please stay safe and I wish you the best of luck 💪

[@JacobFox-jo3fj]

I sand blast a lot at my job. i see your using a 1/2 inch or inch sand pool. Brother you need a 4 inch flat sand head. it cuts four inches wide at a time. it will make your job a lot easier and better results as well. And awesome job on that by the way

[@Mobileblaster]

The flat nozzle just stretches the hotspot out so you lose the intensity of the cut similar to stepping back yeah the hotspot is bigger but less affective. Flat nozzles are only useful if the serface only needs a very light clean 👍

[@MrYz250fman]

Do you run your paint gun off of your blast rig or do you have a smaller compressor and moisture separator for the painting?

[@Mobileblaster]

@MrYz250fman it's very rare I paint I use the blasting compressor and the helmet filter to run smaller fittings as a rule I don't offer painting services this was for a pal of mine and the finish didn't really matter 👍

[@MrYz250fman]

@Mobileblaster good to know. Thank you.

[@yorblastshotblastcleaning1688]

do you get much trouble with that electric dead man?

[@Mobileblaster]

Just the button mate I've yet to find a cheap alternative that's reliable I don't want to pay £175 for another from clemco button is £65 but I've to import it from US then al have import tax etc so could end up costing more than I want to spend 😂

[@roydawson4882]

Mick jet skis have a dead man on em that might adapt for wot you need😊

[@Mobileblaster]

@roy dawson do you have a link please?

[@andrewbaluk1663]

did they do the roof?

[@Mobileblaster]

Yeah it got done but if I filmed that someone would say I needed a hand rail etc etc I didn't blast or paint it...

[@JacobFox-jo3fj]

And switch that tap button to gun control with a trigger you will love the set up

[@Mobileblaster]

I had the RXL but the micro switch packed in I didn't want to spend £300 on another so tried different kill switches with no joy I have a red top cap ball and chain on order from overseas. Hopefully this 1 will last longer 😊

@@Mobileblaster 😂.. never enough of the cfm's.... mines regulated entering the stand up filter housing.. so I could just hook up to tht same as you.. I use a water based rust inhibitor after I've blasted..

[@Mobileblaster]

@Chris Bennington were you get that from n how much ad like a few gallon sat in van for a rainy day 😂

[@Class58001]

@@Mobileblaster Mick it's water based so environmentally friendly same as rain 😂😂😂😂... The product I use is called ferrozinc.. it's like a white wash but soaks into any pours in the steel and creates a rust inhibitor.. then if ya Wana be extra professional u can then apply a cold zinc undercoat over the top.. any good high zinc oxide paint will make the job good base to apply a top coat or blacking.

[@Mobileblaster]

@Chris Bennington I want to find a rust inhibitor that's water based that will hold flash rusting back for 12 to 48 hour so if im doing something metal outdoors and it rains I want the opportunity to fly over with a inhibitor so it doesn't spoil the job 👌

[@jasondeguire6322]

Just out of curiosity how long did this take you and how much media did you use?

Nice videos mate. What camera setup do you use for filming POV? I do sandblasting myself and wanted to make a channel but I need to figure out a camera setup that is handy to quickly setup but also doesn’t get destroyed by the blast. Cheers

[@Mobileblaster]

Gopro hero 9 and 10 but I wouldn't say they are the best available just that I'm into the eco system now with extra batteries clips clamps etc

[@picklepee2771]

The Wiwa pumps would work a bit better. They have a ton of output

[@Mobileblaster]

Yeah possibly so that's one of the main reasons I don't do painting (I'm not setup properly) its not something I enjoy 😬 so I don't go too deep into the painting side of things 👌

[@picklepee2771]

@Mobileblaster if you did you could make a killer buck as a blast and coat specialist. Working from Newport News shipbuilding I've seen those spray pumps throw out a ludicrous amount of paint. However, not matter what, even a "perfect" spray job will need a few days of touch up work and it's extremely tedious. So I can see why you blast 99% of the time

[@Mobileblaster]

@picklepee2771 To be honest I've never needed the skill my brother ownes and operates a commercial body shop and it was through him I got into blasting in the early days he got most to all the contacts I needed all we would do is on site blast and he would paint then he would go down a slightly different root doing full restorations of modified motors kinda leaving me with a skill and equipment needed to venture my own root we still do the occasional big heavy stuff no one else likes to take on but not as much these days

[@yellowmr1]

Also what type of paint are you using?

[@Mobileblaster]

It's a swet sock I usually use my hoodie but it was a little too hot to use it just saves washing the helmet as much 👍
