sodatec, I use Natrium 260 soda on all my jobs, and it is probably the most common soda sold. I also know that is what you used here. Don't be so fast to put everyone else down. First off the reason your getting the cutting action you are is because your blasting at 150 psi, OMG. you won't be doing boats for long thats for sure, you are still doing way to much damage to the gel coat. you should only be at or around 75 psi to do these jobs properly. Thats why your not doing this full time.

Actually tattwd, not every coating is the same. Blasting gelcoat substrate is not a "one pressure fits all" proposition. I blasted this boat as you can clearly see and OMG, I didn't put even the slightest etch on the gelcoat! That's because I've done so many boats that I actually know what I'm doing! In fact, this boat didn't get repainted. The owner wanted it returned to the original gelcoat finish. Which is exactly what this blast produced.

The art of sodablasting is more about blast stream management. It sounds like you prefer to blast in a pressure range where you feel comfortable. There's nothing wrong with that. I followed that mantra on my first 100 boat jobs. I'm not putting anyone else down. I'm simply pointing out the misrepresentations and misconceptions in the industry. I'm sorry that offends you.

Fiberglass hulls often end up water logged because owners opt for the cheapest bottom job methods. Water intrusion begins and migrates from tiny fractures invisible to the naked eye or larger unprotected areas. Water blisters start out small and grow with time. They are multiple delaminations that compromise hull integrity. The only method that detects water intrusion early is dry soda blasting.

Continued from hulls comment...

The non-destructive low pressure blast stream literally vacuums water (if present) from microfissures, creating momentary cake dimples. This alerts the blasting technician to the presence of water in the fiberglass matting below the gelcoat, a serious composite structural integrity issue. Simple and affordable actions can then be taken to prevent hull deterioration, extend hull, extend bottom job life and save the owner from catastrophic expenses.
