Any of you have heard of sand blasting and have a good idea what the technique involves, but just as many have never heard of using water to sandblast.
Sandblasting Machine are wonderful tools that clean and smooth a surface much faster than you could ever do by hand. They are able to get into corners and crevices that you normally can't reach with fingers or other sanding tools.
Let's discuss sand blasting in general and then narrow this down to wet sandblasting.
In the broadest sense possible, sandblasting is the process of using a machine to assist in sanding and cleaning a surface. The sand blaster is a powerful unit using water or air propelled at high speed to push solid particles across the surface you want cleaned and sanded.
Now let's focus on Wet Sand Blasting Machine, which are powered by a pressure washer.

As with most power equipment, particularly pressure washers, never point the nozzle toward anyone. Always point the nozzle downward when in use and make sure the sand supply line is above the water line - this ensures water will not enter the sand supply. Make sure the sand hose is always dry before use and the most critical step to take is to keep the sand covered at all times to prevent over spray/water droplets from contacting it.
When you first begin Wet Sandblasting Machine you should hold the wand several feet away from the item being sanded. If you get too close this could cause the object to be damaged. When the correct results are achieved maintain that distance. Soon you will be able to enjoy your perfectly smooth surface.
