  • Don shares his first experience blasting a railcar.


  • Improper surface preparation results in over 80% of all coating and lining failures. 


  • Surace contamination can include something as simple as handprints and sweat.


  • The primary reasons to apply an interior lining to a railcar are product purity and corrosion protection.


  • With the amount of coatings and lining options available, it’s best to consult with a coating’s expert and/or manufacturer to determine which is best for your intended use.


  • Employee blast and coatings training is a must and can be achieved from resources such as coatings manufacturers and many local community colleges.


  • Without the proper equipment, providing a finished coatings product that meets all requirements will be challenging, if not impossible.
