Often times people really wonder if there's such a difference in dry blasting and wet blasting. Today we aimed to help everyone understand that dry blasting is aggressive, damaging for some applications and just non effective and metal finishing work when comparing it to wet blasting. Don't get me wrong dry blasting has its advantages in some applications but controlling the dust is the main issue in todays times. Switching to a wet blast system for cleaning surfaces, preparing for new coatings, or doing metal finishing applications is the best investment any business or hobbyist could make. For more information on how to integrate a wet blasting system into your current shop or workflows please follow the link above for more information.

For painting the sandblasting is better because the primer will stick to rough porous surface better , but wetblasting would be nice step before polishing , like rims etc..
+Ovais Saand You're exactly right in that rough surfaces provide great adhesion properties for paint and other coatings. However, wet blast is also great for preparing surfaces for coatings as long as the correct abrasive is chosen.
Vapor Honing Technologies okay thats good to hear
Also if your using sand to dry blast make sure you clean down your parts that your preparing to paint because the silicone content in sand can cause you issues. Try not to use sand at all.
@@scottfogarty1249 In the Vapor Honing Process we do not use sand at all. We blast with Glass Bead, Aluminum Oxide, etc.
The Wet Blast process can use the same abrasives as dry blast, therefore, we use Aluminum Oxide or Silicon Carbide to prep for coatings.
All due respect, that is a fine result you have produced. As the owner of a media blasting company I know the finish is a result of the media and pressures used during the blasting process. I wet blast when dust suppression is needed due to the proximity of others or the material being remove (Lead Paint for example). Glass bead, plastic bead, soda and so on in their various sizes can produce a almost polished surface on soft metal like aluminum, brass and copper. The desired finish is determined by what the finished product is going to be, such as polished, painted, clear coated or powder coated to name a few. This video is very good and of high quality but kind of misleading. I mean no disrespect, you are obviously a professional who produces a great finished product. Most high quality machines produce a finish that reflects the owner of that machine. When a person studies and practices their craft he or she will produce a more superior finish than those who don't and you produce a superior finish for sure. Sand Blasting is never a good idea, sand contains silica, is inconsistent in its hardness/density and leaves a dust and debris in the pores of the material being blasted. The same/better/ more consistent finish is produced with glass be it crushed or bead.
Great work Sir
I am impressed with this machine, perfect job! I could use it in my home garage. Greetings from Poland
Feel free to reach out to our European Distributor Svenning Tvede st@aquanife.com and he will help you determine which unit will work best for you.
Thank you for sharing this informative knowledge. So after looking at this video, I can conclude and think that the dry sand blast is more preferable to be the method of spraying the undercoat paint as that rough surface are usually give a good and better undercoat paint finished. The smooth finished that comes from the wet blasting are good to be the method of Chromatic colour as usually they won't need any undercoat layer. Thank you.
I would have put some studs in those threaded holes due to the damage from the process. Beats having to retap those holes and maybe a lost of metal on the thread walls.
Each method has its place. The rougher texture of sand blasting allows primers and paint a better surface to adhere to. I knew a fellow who did a lot of powder coating and no mater how clean a part was, he would sandblast it first.
What media did you use for blasting it ?
We have a Vapor Hone Tech machine at our shop, yeah it was not cheap but quality never is. This really isn't for the weekend guy but if you are restoring or refinishing old or even newer items find a place with one of these machines and have them blast your stuff, you simply can't duplicate its quality of cleaning and the finish or its speed.
What was used to blast this part? Aluminum oxide or glass bead?
The main reason to blast clean is to get the profile or peak to give good adhesion between primer and substrate. Dry blast is better surface preparation compare to wet blast but in certain environments issues wet blast will take place .
A little confused, why not compare it to dry blast using 70/100 glass beads? Looks about the same as vapor blast plus the glass beads "peen" the surface that actually closes up the pores and can help maintain the glossy finish.
awesome job
I'm in the process of getting a system for my workshop, can you tell me, will a gas powered 6.5hp 2500psi 3.2gpm pressure washer be enough for this system ?
you must see all kinds of aluminium castings. does the quality of the casting very much effect the quality of the vapour blasted finish ?
I've been to your page. For a hobbyist, it is not affordable. Dry blast cabinets can be had for a c note.
Noted
I was wondering, can you upload a video where you wet blast a camshaft that has let oil, how would you say it? I guess bake into the cams itself? Like especially old engines, that people don't take care of, like when the camshaft is straight brownish orange, you can't remove the colour. I'd like to see if you can spray that off, and no i'm not talking about rust. It's still a working engine.
I dry blast now but looks like the wet blast could also be a option.
Question.... does the wet blasting go further into the metal than regular blasting or are they the same.
if there is a link i would like to know what a starter kit cost for wet blasting.Awesome video!! for showing the difference in the two different ways!!
Thanks
Thank you, my name is Niki. You can email me at nicole@vaporhoningtechnologies.com or call to request pricing 828-202-5563 x 103 Thanks for watching. The starter unit starts at $799.99
Hi there. What is the correct abrasive to choose, if you wanted to paint? I’ve heard that sand blasting is good for painting but I like the vapor blasted look
Could you please advise what Media you used to get that awesome finish - Cheers !!
I like it! Lol....but how well will it take a finish like paint, park or anodizing?
I have been dry blasting for over 20 years and its incredible how full of it this whole video is! That finish you got using wet blasting you can easily get a 10 times faster dry blasting with the appropriate media.
Thanks for following and commenting. If we can do anything for you or get you any additional Information please let us know. Thanks 828-202-5563 x 103 Niki nicole@vaporhoningtechnologies.com
Great video. Always wanted to see the comparison directly between dry blasting and wet blasting.
We use wet blasting in our facility but with glass beads only. If I want to deburr some machined parts, is it good to have ceramic beads with aluminium oxide? With glass beads we can polish only we cannot take out the burrs
I have a question where can I buy the machine?
You can view and purchase all of our machines on vaporhoningtechnologies.com . We are also available at 828-202-5563.
How does it work on Iron and steel?
Does this wetblasted surface be ideal for powder coating.
Could u please tell what is the liquid u used to wet blast?
And where are u located at ?
I want to know what blasting sand must be used for decorative purpose items. I need the finish to be very matt and it must give brush steel finish and not the aluminium finish
Hey Aditya, my name is Niki. Which Vapor Hone machine do you have? What kind of decorative purpose? You can call me at 828-202-5563 x 103 Niki
Which finished surface would be better if your end results is to powder coat the part after blasting? The rougher mat surface from the harsher abrasive or the more polished surface from the bead media? Thank you
You want to prep the surface to accept the coating so the harsher abrasive is best for that process.
@@VaporHoningTechnologies how well does this machine do with removing powder coating being that it recycles water? is there a filter?
what material did you use for this test? soda/armex?
Are there any plans to troop around to auto shows or makers fairs?
I'd like to give it a try.
What type of blasting media did you use with the water big different
I only dry blast, not that dry is better...it's that water is another variable I do not like to introduce. If a piece needs a polished look then I go to my glass beads (beads, not crushed). The end state finish the customer wants drives media selections.
Excellent point. Would you consider Vapor Honing in the future? For more information or to place your order please contact me at 828-202-5563 x 103 Niki nicole@vaporhoningtechnologies.com
how can I make this at home cuz I'm to far away in pakistan
How well does this do for Media jamming? Like threads and blind holes with Ball Bearing stops.
We recommend a thorough rinsing process, blow all areas off with a high
pressure air hose, allow the part to dry and repeat the process.
However for the most difficult areas, you can use soda with wet blasting
as well. This will give you an exceptional finish without the worry.
@@VaporHoningTechnologies What do you mean by soda? Water and baking soda? Thanks.
hello sir, do you have a smaller scale machine for wet blast? most particularly for watches or jewelery cleaning, or is it better off with ultrasonic cleaner? my main goal is to get a brushed or matte finished out from polished and also for cleaning purposed. :)
We apologize for the delay in responding to you. We have been out of town
at a show. We can send you the PDF regarding cleaning jewelry and a
list of our smaller machines. Please email us at info@vaporhoningtechnologies.com.
thank you very much for reply sir. i will send e-mail to you later. :)
i am looking up stuff i need to build this eq its irritating be cleaning crap the old way
Thank you for following us on TH-cam, we manufacture and sell the equipment. Please let me know if you are interested in buying a unit. Email nicole@vaporhoningtechnologies.com or call 828-202-5563.
And, I can use any known media of any size to include 170-325 glass bead.
Absolutely, in fact, 170-325 Glass Bead is a very versitile media and is effective on many different applications.
Hello, I looking to produce a finished satin finish on 304 stainless steel, will it produce this same look on stainless?
Yes it absolutely will.
How about a Chemical for Mix in the water?
There are no chemicals mixed in or recommended for this process. For more information please contact me at nicole@vaporhoningtechnologies.com
Perfect job
Hi, Can I use this technique on cane furniture?
the right hand side definetely looks like silver paint sprayed on, has that mid sheen to it. If thats the original finish i am surprised as the dry blast on the left doesnt look anything like the right hand side,unless the dry blast removed all the chrome polished finish that was there from production.
+SP330Y Definitely hear this a lot. Right side is raw bare aluminum left side shows you the severity of a dry blast system and what it can do to parts.
This looks lie it would be great for jugs and heads. Shouldn't a triple tree top like this be POLISHED out to a nice mirror shine?
very nice but youre comparing wet blasting to dry blasting... and just GUESSING that the part was already dry blasting? without knowing even what media the part was blasted in? and then trying to compare they two results... wet blasting looks awesome thats for sure but as far as comparing the two using that part this says nothing
I understand, my name is Niki. What type of Video Content would you like for us to present to show a True Comparison Dry vs Wet Blast. Call me 828-202-5563 x 103 or email nicole@vaporhoningtechnologies.com
What is the PSI of the water?
How is this affordable for home use? I am restoring a bike and will not send a bunch of parts out to be chromed. And what kind of media do you use if not sand? Baking soda? How can I do it cheaply? Like without a cabinet setup?
There are some DIY videos and blogs which can answer your questions. I will stress to NOT use sand under any circumstances because of it's silica content. I have built or restored or re-purposed four bikes thus far and currently building a 250cc 2 stroke Yamaha DS-7 as a cafe racer. Budget? $1,000. I have an advantage in surface prep because of where I work but with everything else I map out the process and seek as cheap a source as possible. The 1972 DS-7 "donor" bike I bought for $90 at a motorcycle salvage yard, title included. There is an old saying that there are three important aspects of any job: Price, Speed, Quality but you can have only two, the third will be sacrificed.
Jeff Tilghman Hi Jeff, same situation here. Also restoring a bike, well at first, right now multiple haha. I bought a karcher high pressure cleaner and the wet blasting kit (even available on AliExpress). Works wonders! Let me know if that is something for you and if you buy it what you think of it! Good luck
Does sandblasting eat metal?
Where do you buy wet blasting cabinets?
Please email me at nicole@vaporhoningtechnologies.com
you recycle the water of blast to use it again?
+Skata na fas The water and abrasive is recycled.
I can dry blast, wet blast and hone any article of any size with my DB system.
Bravo 👏
I'm hoping to find someone close by to do my intake manifold for me
You can ship it to us and we will blast it for free. Where are you located? I can search to see if there is anyone in your area. Call or email me: 828-202-5563 x 103 nicole@vaporhoningtechnologies.com
This question was unanswered a few times. What media was used in this video?
We used Fine Mess Glass Bead in an 800P Vapor Blaster. Here is a link to a video that does a quick overview of the 3 most popular Abrasive in Vapor Blasting. If we can help you with more feel free to email or Call us at.

What is the pressure applied to the nozzle?
+LM 60 PSI for this application.
it`s impassible!,
with 60 PSI you cut 2 inch granite stone in half like butter, how come you didn`t cut your finger?? with 60 psi everything will fly from your hand, with that pressure.
@@eitanmizrahy9840 60 is weak lol
@@eitanmizrahy9840 is mad like bull and silly like clown.keep up the good work .
I didn't see that tape in the blaster window. Magic straight line?
+John Herald Tape is very clear at the 2:00 mark in the video.
I stand corrected. I mistook that black tape for the gloves.
Looked shiny when he put it in
What is it...water and soda blasted with air?
Depends on the application, you are using water combined with Glass Bead, Aluminum Oxide, Ceramic Bead, Soda, Garnet and many others to create a slurry mixture and the Compressor creates the pressure to push the slurry onto the surface for cleaning or stripping.

Dry blasting is for profiling a surface in preperation for re coating.
Vapour blasting is essentially for cleaning & polishing.
Don't compare if you don't know the difference.
Tool
Wet blasting how gred boos
That finish doesn’t alter the over priced equipment!!!!
Need wet blast grain
Well very comfortable!
☝️Do it dry first, then put the piece in a pot of boiling water with soda. And let it boil for a few minutes. 😉
🤔This is exactly what happens.

Not hairs or pores...peaks you mean.
Dry blasting is gonna be old technology really soon
