Whitewash Removal 18th October 2022

A successful day removing the whitewash from the ceilings and beams in a new art studio undergoing a lot of work in Plymouth. 

Using the correct grit, pressure and knowledge,  you can lightly remove the paint with minimal damage the the wood.

Both ourselves and the customer were extremally happy with the results.

Whilst on site we also did a sample on the brick pillars inside, which from the results, it wasn’t a surprise that we have been asked to make a return visit to remove the paint off these as well.

Landrover Madness – 29th February 2022

This week has been
Landrover madness.

We have blast cleaned two long wheelbase and one shortwheel base chassis ready to be hot dip galvanised.
By blast cleaning we have removed all the paint and rust ready to give the galvanising the best possible chance. The galvanising will give maximum longevity and maintenance free.

One of these chassis is for our main company landrover and the other for two local friends with the same idea!

Now for the rebuild!

Alloy wheel restoration by K Blasting Ltd -8th September 2021

Well its a shame we didn’t take some before pictures of these alloy wheels.

These were in extremely poor condition with corrosion and flakey paint.

By lightly glass blast cleaning them, they are now in the perfect condition and texture to apply new coatings. With a slight profile to the aluminum, this will allow the new  coatings to bond extremely well.

This week  we decided to try some light blast cleaning tests on different wooden items we had in the yard to find out what would give great results and what wouldn’t.

We were extremely happy with how this old bench cleaned up. By blast cleaning the wood lightly really has brought the bench back to life ready to be used again.

Rusty Keel! Not any more with K Blasting Ltd – 4th June 2021

Todays customer at Dolphin Haven needed his keel blast cleaned back to bare steel. This keel had already been blast cleaned and fresh water washed and is now in need of a quick sweep blast ready for the high build epoxy coatings to be applied. This process of blast clean, wash, blast clean again, ensures there are no salts trapped in the steel before the coatings are applied. Only the best preparation can be expected by K Blasting Ltd.

 

 

The keel has been sheeted well to prevent the used grit and debris drifting around the boat yard.

 

The keel is in a sorry rusty state ready to be blast cleaned back to bare metal.

 

And after K Blasting has worked their magic, the keel is now ready to be coated with a marine grade epoxy primer.
