[Shop-talk] abrasive blasting with a pressure washer

[Doug Braun]

If it works it will be VERY messy, getting wet, dirty
sand all over the place.  (But then, regular
sandblasting will get dry, dirty sand all over the
place.)

I have heard of people doing localized sandblasting of
assembled cars, but this is risky because the sand
will get EVERYWHERE.
