Years ago I bought myself a sand blaster with the intention of doing this job myself. Very bad idea. It was a complete pain, especially recovering the sand to pass it back through, which required one to pass it through a sieve to remove any kind of foreign particles that would clog the nozzle. I had clogs pretty much all the time, sand everywhere, and ended up taking the sub off to have someone with proper facilities deal with it. I generally tight-fisted, but sand blasting is THE job I don't mind outsourcing.</DIV><DIV><BR></DIV><DIV>Best,</DIV><DIV><BR>Alec</DIV></DIV><DIV><BR><DIV><DIV><DIV>On Thu, Apr 30, 2015 at 9:25 PM, Brian Cox via Personal_Submersibles <SPAN dir="ltr"><<A href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</A>></SPAN> wrote:<BR></DIV></DIV><BLOCKQUOTE style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid;"><DIV><DIV><DIV style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><DIV>All,</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Ok, I was going to take my pressure hull ( it's finished , BTW) down and have an outfit zinc coat it but now I'm thinking that I should spend that money on a heavy duty air compressor and a sand blaster and do it myself. Since I'm sure I will need to be recoating places where I'm doing thru hulls and such. But my question is do I need to worry about the compatibility between the zinc coating and the epoxy that will on over the zinc ?? Should I put the zinc on the inside too ? Are there different types of zinc coatings? </DIV><SPAN><FONT color="#888888"><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Brian</DIV></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
