While not wanting to hijack chester613's post regarding cost of bead blasting, his post did tickle a question I've had for many moons regarding media blasting in the Pacific Northwest, at least in the Puget Sound area in Washington State. So far, I haven't found a recreational marine repair facility (ie-pleasure boat yard like CSR), nor a government-owned port facility (Port of Everett, for instance) that will allow media blasting of any kind while hauled in their yard. Several regional portable media blasting companies are most happy to come on site and perform such a service (they do it for graffiti removal, for instance), with due concern and adherence to sound environmental practices, but the yard owners all say "NOOOOOOO-not nohow, not no way". Nor do the yard owners provide such a service (at whatever price) themselves.
Sanding or chemical removal (with provisions for tenting, ventilation, containment entrapment, collection, and disposal, etc.) seems to be the only local options I can find to remove failing bottom paint.
Any ideas?
