Common Surface Prep questions

  • We offer mobile dustless (sand)blasting and surface preparation services.
    This includes rust, paint, and coating removal; graffiti and calcium buildup removal; and surface prep for industrial, commercial, and residential projects—performed on-site with controlled, professional equipment.

  • Dustless blasting is a surface preparation method that mixes abrasive media with water to suppress dust, reduce heat, and minimize warping. Bottom line: it’s cleaner, safer, and more controlled than traditional dry sandblasting.

  • The primary benefits include a 92% reduction in airborne dust, suppressed sparks for safety in industrial zones, and the prevention of metal warping due to the cooling effect of the water. It’s faster than sanding and cleaner than traditional sandblasting.

  • We blast metal, steel, iron, concrete, masonry, brick, stone, wood, fiberglass, and select composites. Typical projects include heavy equipment, trailers, tanks, fences, pool tile, graffiti removal, industrial components, and surface prep for coatings.

    If it has a surface problem, there’s a high probability we can solve it.

  • No—when done correctly. We adjust media type, pressure (PSI), nozzle size, and stand-off distance based on the substrate. This is not a one-setting-fits-all operation. Proper control prevents warping, pitting, or surface damage.

  • Yes. We are fully mobile and can blast on-site at homes, businesses, job sites, and industrial facilities. This eliminates transport costs, downtime, and logistical headaches.

  • We are based in Abilene, Texas and serve surrounding areas. Typically anywhere in between Midland/Odessa to Dallas/Fort Worth. For larger commercial or industrial projects, travel can be arranged.

  • Yes. We can coordinate or perform same-day priming when required to prevent flash rust, as well as coating prep for epoxy, urethane, or specialty coatings. Materials can be provided by us or the customer.

  • Yes. We routinely remove rust, paint, powder coating, scale, calcium buildup, and industrial coatings down to bare substrate or to a specified surface profile for coatings.

  • Compared to traditional blasting—yes. Dust is significantly reduced, and we use non-toxic, inert media when appropriate. Containment and cleanup options are available for sensitive environments.

  • In most cases, no. For commercial or industrial sites, we coordinate with site management regarding access, safety requirements, and containment if needed.

  • Small projects can take 1–3 hours. Larger or heavily corroded jobs may take a full day or more. We’ll give you a realistic timeline up front—no surprises.

  • Yes. For sensitive or specialty surfaces, we can perform a test blast to confirm expectations before proceeding. This protects both parties and ensures alignment before full production.

  • Yes. We are fully insured and operate with safety and professionalism as non-negotiables.

  • Yes. Can Be Done Mobile Blasting uses recycled glass media and water, eliminating toxic chemicals and minimizing environmental impact. This is the preferred eco-friendly option for Texas ranchers and industrial sites.
