Jason from Blastmaster Surface Preparation, Inc. (Portersville, PA) explains why he's counted on Grit-o'Cobs for years.

Why do you prefer corn cob over other blasting media for home restoration and maintenance jobs?

Cob is our preferred blast media first and foremost because it is lightweight, making it easier to handle and work with. It's also soft, so it removes finish without excessive damage to logs. Finally, it is environmentally friendly, so any product that remains after clean up breaks down and goes back into the earth.

What are some of the advantages of using corn cob?

Corn cob is very light, which makes it easier to transport and load.
Corn cob is softer and less abrasive than glass.
Unlike other blasting medias, corn cob is less dusty and does not leave a residue behind on surfaces.
It is environmentally friendly, so my crew doesn't have to worry about harmful or damaging particles being left behind.
As a completely dry media, there is no wait time between blasting and applying finish.
