To remove paint from aluminium they are using either glass beads or walnut
shells.

I am looking for PIREPS on paintshops in the Northwest that have extensive
experience with pressurized airplanes. I am interested in those that use
either particle blasting or chemical stripping.


Is blasting ever sand these days, or have plastic beads taken over? Dry
ice?

Ok, when you say "particle blasting," what do you mean? I checked Google
and they were all over the map.
