Sand blasting was once a fantastic way to go BUT.
Now with the environmental agency really frowning up lead dust in the air and OSHA really upset about air borne lead particles in the work place He may be better off buying a new Radiator for about $12-$15 per section.
Did you know in this country the use of a lead based paint in an apartment can get you a fine and possible jail time.
You see in America kids eat lead paint and Lawyers love these kinds of cases as they see $$$$ from stupidity.
Sand blasting is a real no, no if not in very controlled conditions.
What is so fantastic about this Country like no other we have lawyers running industry ragged.
What these lawyers do is work for the government passing lots of laws preventing any kind of industry from working here.
Now what the other half of the government does is give tax incentives for companies to move to Mexico and other countries where lawyers are NOT allowed to stop the growth of that nation and these lawyers INVEST in over seas manufacturing plaints OK ??
SO before you suggest sand blasting find out which side of a border this person is from.
