Is blasting the right way to go for my project?

Through the years ive seen very many people realize that blasting was the way to go for paint removal.  I know this because countless times people have shown up with trailers, bed frames, fourwheeler racks, old cars, etc., with partially removed paint from wire brushes, grinders, strippers, and whatever else can be used.  After an hour of grinding on a relatively small project and seeing little progress they obviously decided to look into sandblasting as a suitable alternative.  They were absolutely right as sandblasting makes quick work of those small jobs saving you (ALOT) of time and money and from potentially  hazardous dust floating around from the romoval process.  It also is a far more efficient process that gives your a better starting canvas than youd likely ever achieve using the other methods.  Blasting puts a profile on the metal for the paint to better cling to and or penetrate.  On the flip side, blasting is very aggresive and will generate alot of heat during the process so if you have a dainty piece and don’t know a professional who can negotiate the removal process properly, then DONT do it.  Ive seen 1/4 ” steal roll up like a rollie pollie or people classic cars brought to me only after visiting the wrong person first and had to break the news that their hood or trunk or whatever is now permanently warped because someone lacking in knowledge just hammered down until the heat build up cause often irreversible damage to their prized possession!  Not to say ot cant be done because it can, it just needs to be done right.  There are also alternative forms of blasting that address the heat issue and eliminate risk altogether.
