So yesterday was not wasted.
But it certainly will be filed under Fail.
I used more PPE than I have ever done, including gloves, hoody and shoes.
What’s the world coming to?
Using the blasting pot that @pauly had lent to me, after struggling an hour to find the right hose connector it soon became apparent that a combination of “lack of,air” and a very thick layer of sprayed on under-seal and two layers of red oxide and some strong paint, meant that I was not getting a fast outcome.
Leaving me with this sort of result, a really good clean steel surface,,alternating with underseal that it struggled to knock off.
You can see how thick it is applied.
It Necessitated this old guy, along with safety eyewear and gloves.
To,scrape off as much of the thick layers of paint and sealer. In some places the paint is not,shifting,very easily either.
Hopefully the blaster will help.
This is a slow, laborious job, but I think it will be the right way to do it.
Loads more to,do, but it too will come to an end.
