Blasting machine

I am wondering if one needs to rent a specific corn cob blasting machine, or if one may use a typical sand blasting machine but be able to use corn cob media in it.

Or if anyone has any other machines that would accept corn media i would greatly appreciate the knowledge!

You need to rent a machine built specifically for corn cob. You can rent these through Perma-Chink, and many of there suppliers.
I rent many of these all over the country and they normally keep the Blaster Buddys in really good working order and will teach you how to use them.; ▶ Reply to This

They hired an individual that used dry ice to do the stripping. The only residue left was the old stain. The dry ice evaporated and left nothing behind. They were very satisified with the results.; ▶ Reply to This

We are a log home maintenance company and we also rent out Cob Blasting Machines.
It is called the Kernel Cob Blaster.

You can look on our web site to view it at www.iwoodc.com.

You could also try using a sandblaster and try a bag of cob through it to see it that will work.

If you have any other questions feel free to call us at I-Wood-Care at 1-800-721-7715.

I hope this was helpful!

Sincerely,

I-Wood-Care
