40' METAL BOATS

DUSTLESS BLASTING® CASE STUDY

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Two blasting companies based in Texas -- Eco Blast and Stripping and Lone Star Blasting --  worked together to blast two metal boats for their client.

The client needed:

  1. Marine paint, anti-fouling, stickers, and bondo removed from two 40-foot metal boats.
  2. A consistent surface profile on the bare metal for new paint to adhere to.

Lucky for them, DUSTLESS BLASTING® could take care of both needs in one step.

The Results

The owner had already planned on taking care of the paint work, so all the two blasters needed to do was prepare the surface.
