[TheForge] TheForge Digest, Vol 151, Issue 17

These would be a poor choice for paint removal from a house.  The laser would really etch the wood blowing up several cells deep.  I think it would blow up concrete faces as well.

I think a great application would be using these for rust removal on bridge beams rather than the sand blast operation they currently use.  Probably no tarping required - just a generator and maybe something for the operator to breath since there would be some off-gassing of the burned paint.

>If this is the same laser rust removal thing talked about on this forum some months back...at least I think it was here...I wrote the company as I have application for it on a fairly large scale removing paint from houses. They responded and if memory is correct cost $50-75 K and up. My crews will just have to scrape paint!!!
