More UHP in Hout Bay

Given the close nature of other boats in the boat yard,Ultra High Pressure blasting of a steel hull with clean water is the only way to do some jobs,a visiting yacht from Denmark has contracted to have their steel hull UHP plasted and primed with Sigmacover primer,the top coats of polyurethane paints will follow.


A skilled team sets up the equipment,in this case they supplied the scaffold and dust sheets to protect the rest of the yard.



Years of primers and paints are removed layer by layer untill the original steel surface is exposed,if it was grit blasted the resulting 'key' is not polished,an important factor for the Sigmacover etch primers that will soon follow the UHP work.



Still drying off,it will be then washed off with a clean application of fresh water,then Sigmacover etch primer will be applied.

The equipment is on a road trailer,we can send units country wide,contact me for rates.
