Vapor Blasting Makes Dirty Parts Look Brand New Again!

[@griptopia]

Whenever i let anyone have a go on my vapour blaster people always wave it around in the cabinet.. (hehe) Yeah vixen, great machines but, If you are methodical you'll get good results from having a technique. I had my machine a year before i really got my head around all the little things involved. But so glad i did. If you have the budget go the Vixen route, if you don't study other youtubers who blast and you'll get there. Remember, having a dry blaster with same size bead as the wet blaster is a thing that's not talked about, dry blasting with bead!! That is a great way to preclean stuff before vapour blasting "same bead as wet blasting"!! After doing this both my vapour blaster and dry blaster perform better and i don't have to change out the water and media as much, Thanks for the great video guys.

How did I know they would be using Vixen long before I saw the cabinet. They are by far the best unit made. Quality costs, but they are the best.

I love putting clean parts back on a vehicle. Cool technology 👍👍

[@phoneuser3569]

For pitted areas you can blend with dry and polish with wet.

[@eprofessio]

That’s awesome. I love seeing good safety practices on blast cleaning.

[@LOVE-VIBES-X-PROJECT-CARS]

Essentially the wet sanding method of media blasting 👍🏾

[@georgef1176]

It’s just like dustless blasting but in a cabinet. That’s sweet. I been thinking about getting a dustless blasting setup.

[@axisvaporhoningindustries4312]

Look for a used setup I see almost brand new all the time

[@jowarrior]

How does it compare to dry ice?

[@TankEpidemic]

Most of the difference is gonan come in at cost and how gentle the blasting is. Dry ice can be very gentle to even plastic parts,doesnt have to be isolated to a media cabinet and parts can be done on the car. Vapor honing is gentler than dry meda blasting but isnt goign to be as delicate as dry ice. Dry ice blasters can be insanely expensive compared to wet media cabinets. Each process has its place depending on what you want to clean up.

[@jowarrior]

@@TankEpidemic thank you for the explanation, makes a lot of sense

[@bluewanderer9903]

@@jowarrior that was a very good question actualy 👍

[@motoiq]

What @TankEpidemic said.

[@axisvaporhoningindustries4312]

No residue media to worry about with dry ice

[@Twobarpsi]

I like that wiper action in that blast booth 😎😃!!

[@RedRideRVT1R]

helps with efficiency as visibility is constantly blurred with the sand dripping and setting on the glass, but there's probably more frequent changes of protective screen otherwise i imagine the wiper would scuff up the window surface

The guy on the left looks like he knows a really funny joke.

[@axisvaporhoningindustries4312]

Are you using a maintained foot pedal. I tried the bend and spray rinse nozzle not a fan went to a plastic rinse nozzle.

[@motoiq]

Just floored it. It has some kind of garden hose looking rinse nozzle.

There’s Alot of video on KZbin on how to easily make your own vapor blasting and works great

[@caolan25]

What rush inhibitor do you use? in the cabinet

[@motoiq]

Not sure what they use.

[@blakobconcretin]

Where is y’all’s shop, and do you work with regular customers? I’d be interested in chatting with y’all about getting some stuff done. I have a vision!

[@motoiq]

In Southern California

How do you stop the aluminium from oxidising again in a few months time?

Keep it clean

I didn't know that Alodine solution could be bought in consumer quantities. That is good information.

How is it vapour blasting??? Looks bloody wet to me in that cabinet!!! Stavros

[@motoiq]

Dunno that is one of the names for the process. It is pretty much a good stream of near solid liquid.

[@wansolve289]

Aqua Blasting is more accurate

[@motoiq]

but that is not what it is commonly called

[@SolarMillUSA]

because it's not a pressure washer. Instead the mixed water/abrasive slurry is feed into a Venturi nozzle where compressed air accelerates it to several hundred mph and turns the water into a high pressure mist (hence vapor). Is it really a vapor? No. But it's not not just pressurized water, either. And high pressure sputter blasting doesn't sound as good.

[@scunnerdarkly4929]

Is it better than walnut media for cleaning valves and inlets on gasoline direct injection motors?

[@motoiq]

Walnut is more delicate on the valve sealing surfaces and if ingested by the engine less harmful.

[@axisvaporhoningindustries4312]

Advantage of walnut shells is you can clean the heads without removing from an engine where as vapor honing would require complete disassembly.

[@Jibs-HappyDesigns-990]

no laser radiation! wow! thats real sharp! gota try that out! looks as good as factory restored!! good luck!👍

[@billkea7224]

I cannot figure out where vapor comes into play.

[@motoiq]

Its not exactly a solid stream of water I guess, its droplets and air.

[@montneymon-ta-knee6810]

what is the cost comparison to dry ice blasting

[@motoiq]

Way cheaper

[@montneymon-ta-knee6810]

@@motoiq what size compressor is needed

[@motoiq]

Pretty huge, the compressor is a significant part of the cost.

[@montneymon-ta-knee6810]

@@motoiq so bigger than a 5hp

One wonders how this process would work on the fins of air-cooled engines.

[@SerenaBluee]

Really well.

[@BBox-135]

How much does the machine cost new and used

[@motoiq]

About 50k with the external stuff like filters and a huge compressor.

Does it use hot water?

No

[@troyfankell6581]

Distilled or DI water?

[@motoiq]

Regular water works just fine.

I instantly thought of those kids that modify those vaporizers to produce big clouds of vapor. Lol
