Vapor Vapour Wet Agua Blasting....
sandblaster:
2001 RM250 we are building
bishboy:
I've heard that vapour/aqua blasting actually seals the alloy and you don't need to clear coat/paint etc. And it even is resistant to fingerprints!
Is this correct??
sandblaster:
Nope... all lies :lol:
It does somewhat seal the surface metal but greasy finger prints ect will still show.
Not as bad as dry blasting methods but still they will show.
Normal finger prints will not show.
We have been experimenting with clear coats but the schools still out on that one.
The biggest problem is fuel resistance.
If you have something you want to experiment with, send it to me and I'll blast it.
But, you have to post your results.
Or if you have a suggestion for a easy experiment I'm open to fresh ideas.
One other point.
If you do Vapor blast a engine, you better keep your hands clean while assembling it :-D
Brute:
I am curious about residue? If a person was planning on welding the item would there be residue from the detergent or beads?
umberto:
I don't want to speak out of turn, but I remember Sandblaster said that the 2007 AF build frame was aqua blasted and the welder commented that it was very easy to weld because it was so clean.

My welder said that it was so clean it welded like butter.
It took very little time to heat the material even the thicker pieces.
I guess Vapor blasting was a good idea after all 8-)
