Is metal the only thing you can sandblast?

So your thinking of buying a home or maybe redoing your own but theres more paint on the wood than there is wood on the wall.  Your thinking that you really want to take it all the way back down to the original wood face and start from scratch but there is no way you can sand it all the way back down!  Well, you could, but you will definitely have your work cut out for you! Instead,  why not sandblast it?  Yep,  you can sandblast your wood sided house and then run back over it with a sander to smooth it up.  Many variables will effect this process such as how much paint is currently there, what the quality of the paint jobs were, the condition of the wood, and so on.  in any case you can expect one thing for sure. The action of the sand plowing into the wall will lift the soft grain more rapidlt than the harder grain. You should keep this in mind and choose a point that you arent comfortable going past and get as close to that profile as possible and there you have it, a prepped surface ready for paint and it was easier than you thought.
