[QUOTE="Gamefisher, post: 150750, member: 78"] Using a media like glass bead is probably best, as sand can really pit up aluminum. I have a small sandblasting rig for my other hobby, but never used it on a boat. I imagine it would take a very long time to do a whole boat with it. The pros use much larger nozzles with lots of air available so they can make quick work of it. Matt Also: get it in primer right away. It can start corroding quickly after being blasted. [/QUOTE]
