Hi Brent,
It's up to you, but blasting with copper slag will
contaminate the surface of the sub if you are doing serious blasting. The copper
does inhibite many types of coatings from bonding as well as they are capable
of. I do this stuff for a living, and while it is messy, it's really hard to
beat a good clean quartz sand blast. Be sure to use respirators and other
controls to minimize exposure to silica dust.
Best Regards,
Jim K

Duckling Submarine
Hello SMMOM's, (Submadman
Organization Members)
Well my
sub has come off it's high horse, It doesn't look so high and might now that
it's off it's pedestal and trailer. It looks and feels a lot
different now.
Just so you all
know I haven't been completely goofing off of late, here are some new photos
of my K-250 taken apart in preparation for copper slag blasting. I started a
new blog page that I can add photos to. So let me know if it works
ok.

No
worries, I took plenty of pictures and notes as I took it apart. I'll share
that data at a pace.
So now as
George would say, it's Full Bore Boggy submarine
building.
Regards,
Brent
