In contrast to regular sand blasting, wet abrasive blasting is when soap water is used in combination with sand blasting so that a surface can be polished in addition to the ordinary procedure. This can work well because the water allows for sand blasting on delicate surfaces that need a buffer between the course material that is used. Most of the time this will be high pressure water but the needs have to be selected by an expert sand blaster.
Key Takeaways:
- Often used with dangerous substances, wet blasting combines soap and water with the abrasive media.
- Wet blasting is suitable for delicate materials, with the water serving as a buffer.
- Methods include straight wet abrasive blasting, high-pressure water blasting, and air and water blasting.
“Usually, no special equipment is necessary for wet abrasive blasting other than a blasting tool that is compatible with liquids.”
