Northern Michigan Log Blasting

What is Media Blasting?

Media blasting is a specialized surface preparation method that uses controlled air pressure and natural blasting media (such as crushed glass or walnut shell) to remove unwanted coatings, contaminants, and deterioration.

Unlike traditional sanding or harsh chemical stripping, media blasting:
• Reaches deep into wood grain
• Removes years of buildup quickly
• Preserves structural integrity
• Provides ideal surface prep for staining or painting
• Is environmentally safer than chemical stripping

When You Should Consider Media Blasting

Media blasting is recommended when you see:

• Peeling stain or paint
• Multiple old coating layers
• Grey or weathered wood
• Mold staining
• Fire or smoke damage
• Rough texture from failed coatings
• Preparation before restoration

If coatings are failing, blasting is often the correct first step.
