I never used a pressure washer in my life. had to google sandblaster for work and came across your vids. thanks so much for all the information! might show to my dad
LOL never saw part 2 but I bought one after watching part 1! Funny enough I tried sand first time had Meh results! Then My pressure 2200psi washer died LOL So only other option was the big guns 4800 psi Was like Meh lets do this! Went to Harbor freight grabbed 3 bags garnet sand blasting media *mixed it in the sand 50/50*. I could of wrote my name 1/2 deep into steel with the thing! LOL Was watching you got sparks to! That thing was a full face shield sprayer at that point for sure. worked great to blast paint off a steel boat shell no issues! Did one side of a 35 foot steel boat hull in half hour. One other thing to add: I bought a coned pot for this thing! hose goes on bottom everything funnels to center for media! was like 20$ at HF worth it for sure!
@@TractorTech It does not look like HF has it anymore! I was going to link it! IT was a bucket that had a V shape to the bottom with feet! Center had a threaded fitting with other side barbed to hook a hose on. I saw a guy on youtube with one using it to feed sand .
I would of liked to have seen you do that with half the bottom done with the regular pressure washer your useing no sand media and the other half with the media to really see side by side difference.
Should move much closer, slow down waving the wand all over 80% and you'll do much better. Also usually legit blaster attachment mfgs recommend 3500psi 3.5-4gpm..

I see sparks coming off the plate. I have use my big blaster to blast my F1 Ford truck bed worked good no damage no over heating. Never tried it with me electric one 1700psi versus about 3500psi 1.2 versus 4 gpm
@@TractorTech in So. Calif. it is not as big of an issure but I epoxy primered the bed soon after. I did this many years ago and have alway wonder why this took so long to be popular. I bought my small sand blast attachment at walmart for uner $20
Good day mon ami 😉👍 That is a very intersting video ( I did know that washer sandblaster ever existed ) I wonder if it is safer to use like dry sandblaster can do ( toxic vapor ) from various soucers ( type of sand, material to be clean,,, ) Keep up your OUTSTANDING videos Sir Cheers 🍻👍😉
Thanks Roger. The pressure washer sandblaster seems to be the trick to remove flakey rust. Thanks for the test runs. I'd like to see how the different sand blast materials do on the metal surfaces. Enjoyed a full-watch. Have a fine upcoming week. 👍🏽🙂
Thanks for clear research done by you. The Physics of Sand Blasting depends on FRICTION of the grit on the target surface. Water reduces that friction. Sand Free Air under pressure strips off paint and rust oxides off surfaces of Jet propelled Aircraft in flight. So air driven sand complement each other and have excellent rust and paint removing capabilities. I believe that the ":Sand-Blasting" idea may have dawned upon guys that had observed the residual cleaning effect of Dust-Storms upon rusty vehicles left outside in a Sand Storm! Please protect your lungs at least with a spray-painters mask as sand grit like paint particles swirl around and circulate around your work area during the tests!
How's she goin'> It was hard to see what you had done but it did look like it was knocking down the rust. I guess you would need a big pressure washer and a finer abrasive maybe. Thanks for posting.
Sorry, it is starting to get dark fast. Tonight it was dark and I looked at the time and it was 8:15. I was thinking it may have not worked with the first pressure washer in this video because the abrasive was too heavy for it pick up.
Late to the party, both these videos were great info, I’ve got a mid size washer, gotta refinish my ol bobcat and trailer, do you think it’s good for paint?
Paint is very hard to remove. With the right media it may do it. I know with a sand blast cabinet and glass beads, it is tough to remove good paint. Chemical stripping (aircraft remover) works well but the cost is high. Aircraft remover is available in gallons.
Ever see a water jet cutting trough an inch of steel? It’s crazy. One thing about it is “; the water jet is pretty close to the stock material. My theory is , it looks like you were a lil far away most of the time except for those spots where you got down to bare metal… just my 2 cents. I’m about to try this myself with a 3k psi washer, most of the stuff in trying to strip is much less aggressive than that rust you have there. Thank you for your video and efforts. I feel way more motivated to try this now.
Thank you. Only major concern was you didn't talk about protective gear. I was worried one of those beads was going to bounce back and hit you in the eye. Please be careful and emphasize safety. Thank you again and great job.

I don't think you're supposed to use it like a fan supposed to hold it in place and move along slowly
Cool, looks like it worked pretty well.
Thanks for sharing,
DC
Yes it does! Have a good week!
I would of liked to have seen you do that with half the bottom done with the regular pressure washer your useing no sand media and the other half with the media to really see side by side difference.
I'll show that next time.
💡Have to go slower with the sweeping motion to give it a chance to do it's thing, sweeping way too fast👍
I tired going slower and holding it in place even. That was as good as it would work.
Should move much closer, slow down waving the wand all over 80% and you'll do much better. Also usually legit blaster attachment mfgs recommend 3500psi 3.5-4gpm..
I did hold it in one place and it didn't do any better. I changed over to a 3200 psi pressure washer.
What I notice is you let your pressure washer run for extended periods. That can lead to burning your pump up
Yeah, they aren't supposed to run for more than 2 minutes without being used.

Yes, the tip size needs to match the pressure washer. I have it on a 3200psi pressure washer and it works much better.
I could definetly see this channel become the next project farms
I hope you are right!
What brand pressure washing kit are you using?
Very genuine and informational presentation. Thanks!
You're very welcome!

Good point on the water keeping it cool to avoid warping. What do you do about the flash rusting?

I think it should be safer. There is no dust. The slag was flying back and hitting me. You need a face shield.

Testing different media would be a good video. Maybe next year I could do that.
I wonder if a better sand pot would help. If you could get a cone bottom and hook your hose to the bottom of the cone. Nice demo, Jason
It may. I have an idea on how I could make it work.

Nice vid! Happy to see it is working much better than the first try with regular sand. Might buy such a system as well.
I am pretty happy with these results. For $25 it is a fun gadget to have.
Very good demo,between the 2 pressure washers , Like night and day.
I think the media was too heavy for the firs one to pick it up.
Heel yeah
You the boss
Thanks!
Where do you buy that ???
Amazon. They link is in the desciption.
hi. which is the minimun pressure of water required for wetblasting? i do not know which model of pressure washer to buy. thanks in advance
3000 or more is best.

@@TractorTech That could be. Did a nice job on the scoop though eh.
Maybe try strapping bucket to pressure washer pump so it vibrates abrasive and place it higher up?
Excellent 👍
I have since tried it with the bucket raised up and it helps tremendously.

Is that sparks I see??? If so that's wild!
Yes it is.
Next time wait until midnight to record
I was hoping you would buy me a light tower.
good videos, thank you for the lessons.
Glad you like them!
Did it kill your grass
No
Wow
Thanks for watching!

I was wearing eye protection and ear protection.
