History fascinates me. I love reading historical books and watching movies with a historic touch. I really admire the archaeologists who spend days and nights in preserving history. It’s such a challenging job to bring historical remains back to their original state. It at times pains me to see how magnificent structures get ruined over the centuries.

Once while browsing the net, I came across something called dry ice blasting and how it is used to clean historical structures. I have no idea whatsoever on this thing. I am a little curious to know about this.

It is used on cars (sometimes) to remove paint and dirt from metal panels. Dry ice (frozen CO2) chips are blown at the panel with compressed air. They wear the paint and dirt off, but do not affect the metal if care is taken. Then the ice melts and vaporizes into CO2, which makes cleanup a whole lot easier.

The fact that dry ice is VERY VERY COLD also helps cut down on panel heating, which is one of the big problems with sand-blasting or other media blasting.

I'm a little curious why you signed up to a 914 web site yesterday and your first post is a question about dry ice blasting in relation to historical structures. Most people here would consider dry ice blasting for removing rust off of a 914.

If you own a 914...

Totally off subject, but why does maria143 like dry ice blasting so much? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

"Maria" was the code name used by Leonardo Divinci during his supposed artistic period, This period is known as Vinciism.

"Maria" was the name he used when hiding information about hidden location for the "Ark of the Covenant". (As seen on TV)

It is very possible that our possible spammer "Maria" is really a Third Reich Nazi operative trying to infiltrate our forum.

I suggest we call Interpol and Hillary and have this looked in to by professionals.

And a huge thumbs up to Aaron for relaying all of this important info to me.

Now..... back to the cold medicine and Red Bull cocktail.

Dry ice blasting is what we here in a Minnesota do when it's -20, We drive over a hundred miles an hour creating a wind chill factor that of dry ice and effectively stripping all of the paint off of our cars while having fun.

well, "Maria" is from India, so it's safe to say it's probably a spammer testing the waters ...

account disabled, thread closed, bye bye ...
