Do you wire wheel after using that? Or is that better than a wire
wheel?

The Dink..

Yes an air powered chipping hammer like this one:

Removes all rust! sounds like 12 people banging on iron skillets all
at
once.

It is better than a wire wheel, but I do go over it with a wheel to
make sure I have bright shiny steel, then feather the paint edges with
a 100 grit sanding disk. After than apply Ends all Rust a Dupont rust
converter similar to Ospho or Navel Jelly. After that 3 sprayed on
coats of Primer, waiting till each coat dries. After that 2 thick coats
of Paint. Today I was removing old paint with the neddle gun, in the
area where the deck meets the bulwarks around the stern, it had just
buildt up to thick in areas and needed removing, also spotting out the
bulwarks in prep to paint all the decks and apply new non-skid.

Wasent a planned job but it was soooo nice out today with no humidity
which is rare in Houston I figured Id never get a beeter day to do this
annoying job, This area is one of the hardest to get to due to the aft
stays, the mizzen stay and handrails all pinning you against the stern
cabin. It's one of those jobs you want perfect conditions so you do not
have to do it again for 5-7 years.

I'm finished working ...and your earlier thread convinced me to make a
fresh pot of Folgers.

Soon I will have to head out and put up the air compressor, spray rig,
and tools, clean up the dock, wash the car, and then I have a couple
hours of Work work I have to get done tonight for the AM. And I get to
do a couple of Honey Dew projects....

I use an air chisel with for the big stuff, then wire cup in a 7''
grinder. Sand blast the corners and brackets where the wheel can't
get. 3 coats primer, 3 coats paint, from a spray gun..

I wonder if I could get a head ,like the one you showed, for my air
chisel?

Scotty,
A Snark that actually gets sailed would be a better choice
than any boat that bobspit uses for bragging on the Internet.

Take it easy on the Folgers..
the caffeine will take its toll..
a powerful drug that would be on the prescribed prescription
list if it were discovered today.
