Title: Zirk's Tip of the Day
Post by: zirk on 22 August 2017, 19:58:23
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. :o :(


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.  ::)

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

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 :y

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