I have a hydroblaster service that makes short work of it. It's basically a huge, adjustable power washer, 10 to 30K PSI. Takes multiple layers right off.

Theres no hydroblaster service within a 150 miles that I can find although my plaster guy says hes seen one on the highway that he thought was from Charleston SC. One guy recomended attaching a soda blaster kit to our pressure washer? Said it would take off the paint and wasn't as messy as sandblasting. I can get sandblasting for about $2 sqft when you figure in the sand and waste removal. I can chip it for about $3.5 per.

Any suggestions are welcome. Seems like there should be a better way. It looks like a Hydoblaster could cost upwards of 100k.

Sent you one yesterday thru garden web and just now to comcast. Thanks and looking forward to your response.

Reno,
Amazing how different prices are around the country.
We pay .80 per sq to chip out plaster. I guess that is because it is common place to chip every job out.

Thanks Racket, that was good info. Looks like I need to make a capital investment.

just-a-pb, those are in-house prices and its usually more than one layer of plaster. We can sub out a 3 inch undercut,acid wash, nuetralize and bondcoat labor only for .90. At .80 for a complete chip-out it would be a no-brainer.
