It requires a higher pressure than sand, and you can buy it in pellet form
(so that you don't need the machine to chip away at a block).

I researched Dry Ice myself. It sounded great! I could even get bags of
it at my local welding shop believe it or not. I just wasn't sure how
much I needed and you have to order it. When I called a major supplier
of the equipment for rental he said that certain types of paint it won't
work on too well.
You can buy bags of the dry ice or rent a machine that makes little
pieces of a block. You have to rent the machine as it's too expensive to
buy for a one car job.
I don't remember now about the spray wand, but I think Eastwood has it
available or that web site that someone gave out.

Dry ice sounds great. However can it be used with a regular sand
blaster? If so is dry ice media available to most around the Country?
Thanks,
JD
