Steve, I think for large
surfaces you may want to look at blast media that is injected into a
pressure washing system. It would be quieter than air and with more force, don’t
know if a clean and capture system is possible. Might toast a Mosmatic swivel pretty
quick. Look into soda blasting (Armex) which may be the best option. It will
dissolve in the water but will create a high sodium effluent which may kill plants,
not sure. http://pressurewash.com/catalog/default.php?cPath=34&sort=2a&&page=1

and it's cost me money but it does do a nice job. does anyone know of an
