Pressure washer shot blaster?
« on: 26 February 2009, 23:49 »
Was wondering if this would be any good?

It's basically a kit that attatches to a pressure washer and turns it into a shot blaster. Was wondering if anyone had any experience with it?

Could really use it on my oil sump and rocker cover, was thinking of the engine block, or is that a no?

Thanks.

Eh?  :huh:

Oh, forgot to say, I spent the last two days removing my engine. Suspension is HIGH now. Labelling up all pipes and removing. If I'm respraying, or even getting it resprayed, it's a proper job and want to save on costs.

The Kit doesn`t work the grit / sand they supplied would not suck up the
pipe so I had to use Kiln dried sand. This didn`t work much better. On the
packing it shows it cleaning paint of steel dream on. My kit didn`t the
Karcher pressure washer is great we expect the Germans to get it right,
this kit must have been made in the UK

Yeah. Maybe I'll get some stuff shot blasted then. Or use a sander and wire brush.
