3. 01 What is the Purpose of Sandblasting?
Sandblasting thoroughly cleans and prepares a
surface for painting. Spraying sand at a high
velocity toward the intended surface removes
stubborn dirt, grime and other matter. Sandblasting
is ideal for concrete, brick, stucco and other
surfaces.

5. 02 Significance:
Sandblasting was originally used to sharpen and grind
tools. Wood, metal, glass, concrete and brick are some
of the substrates that are usable in this process. It will
remove any dirt, paint or other substance in preparing
the substrate for painting. Sandblasting also refreshes
the look of concrete and brick. Sandblast old sidewalks,
brick walls, windows and even roofing. Sandblasting
can also smooth rough surfaces.

7. 03 Techniques:
There are two types of sandblasting techniques. Wet
sandblasting is commonly used for exterior jobs,
and dry sandblasting is typically used on interior
jobs or special projects. The wet sandblasting
process works well to remove paint, stucco and
other debris from a substrate.

9. 04 Considerations:
Some cities and towns require a permit for
sandblasting. Wet sandblasting is preferable over dry
sandblasting as it is less invasive. Before
sandblasting, cover structures not needing the
process with plastic sheeting to protect them from
erosion.
Notify neighbors before sandblasting. As sand is
sprayed it may drift toward a neighbor's property. Let
them know what you are up to and offer to protect
their property with sheeting as well.
