It evaporates as soon as it hits the metal leaving no residue except for the material blasted away!   "Because of the temperature difference between the dry ice particles (-109�Fahrenheit / -78.3�Centigrade) and the surface being treated, thermal shock occurs during the dry ice blasting process. This breaks down the bond between the substrate and the contaminant to be removed from it. The dry ice vaporizes on impact, so no secondary waste stream is created."   http://www.coldjet.com   Best regards Pelle ----- Original Message ----- From: Crazy Rusty To: 'The Chevelle Mailing List' Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2004 2:01 AM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] Water in the trunk   Dry Ice would be preferable.  However, it is much more expensive (not free and more then bead blasting).  Plus, Ice is more aggressive (dry ice is softer) and can therefore use a lower pressure then Dry Ice.  I always like lower pressure when high speed media (beads, sand, water, etc…) is being shot at my car.       From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Nasta Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2004 4:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] Water in the trunk   Dry ice is better. It just evaporates. http://www.dryiceinfo.com/   John Nasta       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Crazy Rusty Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2004 12:29 AM To: 'The Chevelle Mailing List' Subject: [Chevelle-list] Water in the trunk   Hey guys and gals,   Hypothetical Situation:                         Let’s say that after taking out the rear lamp harness, taping off the front of the trunk (back seat) and package tray, I wanted to put a hose in my trunk, spray it around, and then dry it out.  Would all the water drain out that went over by the back of the wheel wells where the trunk drops off?     Non-Hypothetical Situation:               My buddy builds Ice Blast machines that are cleaner, safer, faster, easier, and cheaper (free for me) then any other blaster out there.  But, of course, as soon as the ice hits, it melts.  I need to blast my trunk before I prime and paint.  Sure I could get it bead blasted for $50… but ice blasting just sounds cooler.  Heat lamps would be set up as well as a truck load of towels but I’m worried about water getting somewhere in the trunk that I can’t reach.  I was thinking the front of the wheel wells might cause a problem but I could stuff a towel up there I would think.   www.iceblast.net   It’s also helpful for that pesky nuclear contamination or when you have tar poured on your car… http://www.iceblast.net/Videos00.htm#top     Thanks, JB 69 Chevelle Malibu
