Questions

Sandblasting FAQ

What should I send for a blasting quote?

Send photos, sizes, weight, metal and quantity. Say what coating is on the part now and what finish comes next.

What should I ask about the blasting method?

Ask which media suits the metal and whether threads, holes or delicate areas need masking. Include your finishing plan.

Good to know

  • Ask whether priming or coating can follow blasting in the same booking.
  • No Winnipeg shop we checked posts prices for this. Send a request to compare quotes.
