Make Hay while the sunshines


With such a wet and windy summer this year our farming friends and neighbours have some pretty narrow windows in which to cut and bale their hay. So when a local farmer asked us to strip down a baler panel urgently and return it the same day we were happy to oblige.
An electric sander is no match for stubborn paint

He had tried in vain to strip it with an electric sanding tool but the layers of paint were too numerous and too thick to remove. So he asked if we could help and of course we were delighted to rise to the challenge. 


 Our powerful blasting pot and specialist media made short work of the thick yellow paint and the panel was soon returned to its original, pre-painted finish without warping or damage to the surface.

Paint free and perfect for priming and painting
We coated the panel with a fine layer of penatrating oil which is light and easily washed off but protects the exposed surface from flash rusting in the period between paint removal and priming and it was ready to go. Its owner was delighted with the finish and we were pretty pleased with it too. Another satisfied customer!
