not sure if ive missed a post somewhere but what is this new business venture John? heard you mention it many times now but not entirely sure what it exactly is

I’ll be doing vapour and soda blasting Steve. Vapour is wet blasting using glass beads and water at very high pressure, the beauty of this is its very gentle and won’t pit soft aluminium, you can clean cylinder heads and crank journals with it, it brings them up like new. The soda blasting cabinet is dry, the soda is so much softer than sand and again won’t pit soft metals, it’s just like icing sugar, so you can blast carburettors, ally parts, brass, copper, pretty much anything for the classic car, bike , boat, plane, agriculture market etc, etc. Lastly I have a mobile twin tank system, you can blast whole chassis with it, say a TVR Griff chassis, the beauty is you can blend in a harder blasting medium in the other tank if soda is not quite harsh enough. The soda is perfect for stripping paint from panels as well because traditionally sand blasting created heat that warped the panels but soda is so gentle it blasts cold, no distortion at all. It’s perfect for walnut blasting as well so I can blast a cylinder head ports then put it in the vapour cabinet and get it back to as new. It’s a leap into the unknown really but I think there’s a pretty big market as basically I can do anything from a rusty gate up to crank journals on an engine.

That an ex scottish car John?

We see a few like that..

All sortable though...... Get stuff enamelled,nicer than powder coat.

It’s a northern car but not Scottish Gaz, just two owners, the first an RAF rescue pilot so maybe it spent some time near the coast.

Are you just offering the various media blasting John or a finished coating too ?

I’ll have to get into painting Gaz, enamel usually like you mentioned. For now if subframes etc, want powder coating I’ll farm that out, depends how much work I get for it will determine if I put a powder coating booth in, but I’ll be offering painting straight away, plus bush replacement so I send back a fully finished subframe.
