Stripping out sean sealant. It everywhere and sandblasting bounced right off it.

If you have the right media. It will remove the sealant.........along with the metal.

It’s already been blasted. The metal stripping shop did a nice job but a little of the sound dampening asphalt remained and all the excess seam sealer remained. It was a day with a powered wire wheel to clean that all up and I hit a few ugly welds with the grinder as well.

The uncovered portions of my interior (places I plan to leave bare in finished form) are all smooth, deburred and pretty for paint now.

Sandblasting got 99 percent of the ugly off. I worked on the bits left over. Honestly it was very fun and I think I saved a bit of money on prep when it goes to have the pros prep and paint now. (Yes I’ve learned my lesson not to do my own paint!!). Also every time I look those remaining welds I know *I* chose to keep them.
