Has Anyone Succesfully Blasted Houses? I Could Use Any Input!

BillingsBlastin

How is everyone doing today on this nice and rainy day atleast here in CT. I have been getting alot of phone calls from painting companies looking for us to prep houses for them. I am sure I am not the only blaster that has recieved phone calls about this. I am sure there is someone that has been succesful at it. So I am looking for some help in finding the best media to use in removing the paint but obviously not pitting the wood to badly. We use baking soda and we know it doesn't work, we are starting to get into crushed glass and haven't yet tested it on a house but I am looking for any input I can get. Thank you in advanced!

Walnut shells from N. California is a great media. (Biased opinion of coarse)

Bad idea to blast wood homes, no matter which media you use. All media will grain the wood too much, a paint shaver and a heat gun are really what work on wood homes. If blasting stucco or various masonry type of surfaces, I have had good success with crushed glass.
