Tip 1, Dont stick your fingers about an inch away from a karcher pressure washer nozzle when its on full chat. 

Tip 2, Dont presure wash the under side of an Estate Rear Spoiler at close range. they become Airbourne afdter a few mins.


On a more positive note, the numbness and the feelings on me fingers are just starting to come back after an hour or two, and I think Ive just found a new way to remove a Prodrive rear spoiler from the Tailgate.

In my yoof  we used to mess about with the airlines at work, sticking them up mates trouser legs etc. That was until we were shown a photo of a guy who had his scrotum ripped open by someone doing the same stunt. That stopped us alright.

Ive always thought if you could feed fine sand or beads into a redesigned lance they would make excellent sand blasters.

Blasting with compressed air results in the media (eg sand/beads/walnut shells) shattering and releasing dust. Sand produces silica dust and a passport to silicosis and lifetime of lung disease

I assume that wet blasting allows the use of cheap sand without the risk of silicosis but I would be pleased to hear from anyone who knows the answer

(I do know that when I tried it I got very wet and dirty very quickly  )
