Sandblasting

[ishoot308]

Can anyone recommend someone that does sandblasting in the area (Gilford / Laconia) Looking to get eight swivel chair bottoms refinished, just the part directly under the seat that’s about 18” in diameter and maybe 4” in height. I can paint them if need be just wanted them sandblasted first.

Thanks!

Can't recommend anyone locally

But your post reminded me of this one

Maybe "Rich" can give you some more info, he seemed pretty satisfied. Glass-beading and Sandblasting for lack of a better term and technical differences are kind-a the same thing.

.....psst....for 99-cents you can get a super good quality sanding sponge in fine or medium grit at Aubuchon Hardware ..... highest quality - lowest price ....factory seconds w/ a minuscule defect ..... best deal in the whole store!

Sorry guys, no way for me to be out on an island, sanding for 99-cents/hour, because I have been raking in the big money by raking the leaves for $7.25/hour here on the Winnipesaukee waterfront at the neighbor's mega-million dollar mcmansion .... For 7.25/hr, I stay very focused and give each individual leaf my total attention!

Minimum wage comparison/hour: New Hampshire-7.25, Maine-9.00, Rhode Island-9.60, Vermont-10.00 (10.50 after January 1, 2018), Connecticut-10.10, Massachusetts-11.00, New York: 9.70-11.00 (proximity to NYC)

At 7.25/hr, New Hampshire loses the low minimum wage comparision by a lot, NH employees get the lowest pay rate and NH earns the lowest payer booby prize for the six New England states plus New York ..... live NH-poor or die! ..... put that on your NH license plate? Is NH's low minimum wage at all related to NH's opioid epidemic ...... let us see ... good jobs at good wages-yes! ....... and, bad jobs at low wages drive you to drugs ...... hmmm, what do you think? Anyone here work for a NH ski area?

If you have an air compressor, just $20 will buy a siphon-type sandblaster. After thoroughly drying-out regular beach sand, I've had very satisfactory results with my first sandblaster—bought decades ago for just $8.

The Opiod epidemic has no wage constraints. It affects rich and poor, good people and bad people. They should tax the crap out of these drug companies that push these drugs on everyone for the sole purpose of making tons of money.

Thanks APS, Bought one, tried it....while it works well enough it makes a huge mess. Not interested in dealing with the mess and would rather sub out the work to a pro who is better setup.

Found a monument company to do the blasting for me so All is good!
