I know nothing about SCUBA, but I am a hydraulic technician and wonder if there isn't a middle ground here; love and use your boot, but take it off after use, clean it, and clean your tank before storage.
Sand blasting can be harmful because in the process of removing paint some aluminum can also be removed. Zero tolerance for missing aluminum. Best method of removing paint is paint stripper and scrapping lose paint.
Angel, I found two small air cylinders in my father’s basement,with the letters ALF CO stamped at the neck. Any clue on the manufacturer. 1800 psi. I can send a pic if needed.
You the scuba tek man! Never understood boots on aluminum tanks 🤔

In an ideal world yes, removing the boot for a good wash would be perfect. Unfortunately it's the most neglected area of after dive care.
@@scubatechkeylargo : Makes sense, and that was my fear/concern.
I clean my SCUBA tanks and ALL my gear after use, just like my pew pews 🤘
Can you sand blast an aluminum tank? I have one thats chipping all over. Couldn't send you a pic. Thanks. Jeff

I’m guessing it’s a old steel oxygen tank, send me pic of the markings, the valve and neck
Will do.
