Will a power washer do the work of a sandblaster?

Hi.





I am a sculptor. I have some cast iron sculptures heavily encrusted with ceramic shell investment mold. I was considering buying a sandblaster unit, but I have a small studio and I don't like the idea of dust in the air. I wondered if a high powered pressure washer would have the same affect of blasting off the investment. Ideas?Will a power washer do the work of a sandblaster?
Not normally - and not without introducing some abrasive which will probably be as bad. Another option is bead blasting, but quite honestly given all the health and safety implications plus buying kit you may never use again it would be better to send them off to a specialist shot/sand blaster.Will a power washer do the work of a sandblaster?
not sure but i can tell you a pressure washer works great to take the dull weathered look off wood like porch decks and if you are not careful it will dig a groove in the wood from the force. i think it would do that job but even if not it is a very useful tool to have around the home
I used a power washer recently that had the power to remove varnish of a wood. I doubt your run of the mill will be strong enough you probably will need something industrial.
You can also use the dry ice plaster it the same as sand plaster but no mess because the dry ice dos not leave anything behind.
they make a kit for the presure washer so you can use it as a sand blaster

you would have a lot of water to contend with unless you did it outside
