JL Pressure Washing
Anyone have any experience with wet blasting attachments for your pressure washer.
I have maybe 1000' of curbing in a neighborhood that has been painted a few times and they don't want to paint over the olf and flaking paint, because of course it will just peel/flake off again.
I am going to do a test with just high pressure tip and also roto nozzle, but I already know whats going to happen. It will only get some of the loose stuff off and maybe some of the tight paint off but not all of it. Then I figure some of the tight will lift as we move on down the curb
Some areas the paint is very thin other areas its cracking and lifting and has a few layers. Doesnt look hard to get off with wet blasting I have done tons of sandblasting, I just have never used a wet blast attachment on a PW'er
Wondering about the attachments, I see plenty on the web, wondering if there's any better than most or all about the same?
WONDERING how big of a MESS it makes.. None of the curbing is really close to any buildings just in neighborhood parking areas or connected to some sidewalks.
wondering what kind of grit is used? Is it just a white or light brown sand, if I pick up heavy areas of grit could I just wash the rest away to grassy area. I am thinking in some areas it will just go into the grass, the grit and small paint chips, I'm thinking just rake it into grass and on road just push into piles and shovel up
What about time, does it go fairly fast?
what about rates to charge.
If anyone has used the attachments, what do you think, are they good or a PITA to use
Thanks
