Both Medium (40-70 mesh) and Fine (70-100 mesh) Crushed Glass Grit can be used for many different applications. Below are examples of some of the more popular uses – some may even surprise:
Medium Crushed Glass Grit
- Auto restoration – rust removal, more aggressive than soda
- Log home – rough hewn logs, aggressive on wood
- Masonry restoration – brick, cement block
- Tanks – mill scale removal
- Graffiti removal – concrete, asphalt (no damage on surface)
- Consumer – metal (iron): lawn furniture, fencing, decking
Fine Crushed Glass Grit
- Log home – smooth finish, alternative to Corn Cob Grit
- Aluminum surfaces – no pitting, good strip rate
- Auto restoration – body panels, engine parts (smooth, etched finish)
- Boats – fiberglass, no media embedding
- General parts cleaning – less than 1 mil surface profile
Obviously, the list of potential applications is much longer and limited only to the imagination and expertise of the user. Please share other applications in the comments section.
