Its best to blast aluminum with crushed walnuts like forever dragging said it won't pit or warp the surface |

Yea I didn't say walnut shells is best for aluminum, I'm not sure what is best for aluminum. But I know a hull is prob a lot thicker than aluminum valve covers, I would think at least. I was just stayin they use other things besides sand. Im sure the place blasting will find the propped thing to spray if u let the guy know ur concerned bout warping |

Sand is not good on aluminum. Aluminum is too soft. If you ever need to weld on the boat it will pull the sand out. |

1/4" aluminium valve covers.........not trying to start a pissing match, just letting yall know my experiences with blasting! It also will slow the speeds down some from the bottom being rough after blasting! |

He said that you he usually uses 150psi, and on an aluminum but he said he uses about 65 psi. |

Get him to soda blast it, it's soft and safe. Plus you can just rinse the boat down after and it's good to go. It's a little more expensive than walnut or sand blast medium, but a lot safer |
