Folks,

Looking for some insight a good sand blaster. I have 6 - 100+ year old
mantels that I want to restore. I was thinking that sand blasting might be
the best way to get thru all of the layers of who knows what that is on each
of them. They have been uninstalled and can be blasted outdoors.

I was hoping there might be something reasonable out there that could do
this job.

Thanks,
Ed Walsh



Because of the varying densities in the grain pattern of wood I would
NOT recommend sand blasting. A chemical stripper would be your best bet.
