has anyone DiY'd thier boat? .. due to very very poor paint prep by earlier owners I need to blast the whole boat (34 Trunk cabin) .. some of the prices I'm getting are crazy. I can rent either a soda balster or a dry ice blaster for a reasonable
number .... it seems the dry ice might be a little more "gentle"
rent on the soda arouund 2k for a month 3k for the dry ice, about 1/2 that for a week ... estimates to have it done are 5-10k and the guy that came and looked figured 2 days to do the job.. the higher numbers were phone guesses

Re: Media blasting
Its $150 an hour to get blasting here. That's wet wet with sand in a containment pit. I think media may be more as the cost of the material is higher.
Can you find a place to do it where the environmental protection is available?
I like the technology of the dry ice blasting. What's the cost for the media?Scott

Re: Media blasting
I do have a "place" to do it .. protection... well it's in NH away from the water ... so it would be a catch pan and plastic containment curtains

Re: Media blasting
I'd test an area. If it's too aggressive it will add lots of work to the prep. Also look at chemical stripping

Re: Media blasting
It has been some years, but have done 2 boats. Had an area. On the 2nd boat, Rented a 90 or 100cfm diesel trailer compressor, bought a sand blaster. I was good by the end. Took me 6 or so hours with everything working to finish. Translation with cleanup was all weekend. Dry ice sounds fabulous. Contaminated sand is heavy.
