What is Sandblasting?

Also known as abrasive blasting, sandblasting is a surface finishing process that involves the use of a powered machine, typically an air compressor as well as a sandblasting machine, to spray abrasive particles under high pressure against a surface. It’s called “sandblasting” because it blasts the surface with particles of sand. As the sand particles strike the surface, they create a smoother and more even textured surface with fewer physical imperfections
and flaws.

Sandblasting is the best way to remove paint from all surfaces and is less laborious than other methods that allow you to achieve the results within a short time. The method is perfect when dealing with hard-to-reach areas and jobs that are almost impossible to do when using other sanding methods
