Wouldn't sandblasting be easier for the chassis?

Built me a vat large enough to put an entire truck in at one time and use several 40 amp battery charges on stainless stell sheets on all 4 sides,,,,takes a while but it sure works well and it is Cheep!!!!!! Need less to say it is very easy also. On on occasion maybe not but for several it is very practical . | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | Welcome to the board Waterdog. You'd be better off getting it blasted.
And welcome to the board, J I Case. Your name is appropriate, you are a case.
I had my frame sandblasted for $100 and primed for another $60.
Besides the fact that you shouldn't use stainless for the electro-derust, I don't see how you could build a tank for less.
Also, the process is known to cause brittleness making it not suitable for stress bearing parts like a chassis. | | |
