    First off, great site very informative. 2nd, I am not a PW contractor, I am residential/lite commerical contractor. Only PW a few times a year, mostly paint prep for exterior painting, ocasional deck wash, vinyl. ....

    My Equipment (nothing like the pros here) Dewalt 3800 PSI 14Hp with Cat67dx pump. 4gpm Stock hose, wands, tips.

    Questions:

    1) Hardly ever needed, But would like a 100' foot hose, would it be better to buy a separate hose or keep a spare 50 around and join it (is that even possibile?

    2) I'll Try the Downstreaming now, but where do i get the tips from? And is there any additional components i should have on my pump? I see talk about ballvales...injectors. etc...

    3) Stock gun ok or should that be changes?

    Basically, I want to maximize my machine to the best i can, to be able to shoot chemicals.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    I am new to this forum and need some help from the pros. I am wanting to get into blasting business using soda and other media. ( cob, crushed glass) I need some info on what to look for in a system and what to avoid. I currently have a 160 cfm compressor which is almost to small from what I have read, but it will have to do for now. Also if anyone knows of any used units on the market.. Thanks....

    You can use the 160, but you cant breathe off of the compressor. Clemo sells an ambient air pump used to supply air to respirators.

    If you do want to breathe off the compressor, then you need atleast a 185

    I am using a Sullivan 210 CFM. Before i bought my blasting equipment i already purchased an ambient air pump, which i will sell (interested?)

    Hi,

    I am new to the forum and have a few questions. (Posted this on PWN also)

    I am currently in the process of purchasing in Soda/Sand blasting equipment, the whole works, pot, compressor, and safety equipment. Etc... My equipment is capable of using just about and type of media and has a water attachment.

    I read a few post on this site where soda were used in graffiti removal.

    1) Do you think soda blasting with my equipment is cost effective, efficient method of graffiti removal? Although I don’t plan to specialize in graffiti removal, I would like to know what my equipment is capable of doing, and what additional areas I should target in my marketing.

    2) In the power washing field, what areas do you think can possibly benefit using my equipment? I don’t feel abrasive blasting is applicable to many areas of the power washing field, power washing definitely has pros and cons over blasting.

    In a nutshell, I would like to know what areas in the power-washing field could benefit from sand/soda blasting.

    Thanks for your time.

    Rich
