    Hi… I am just finishing a 36’ steel pilot house for launch this spring.
    I found a used aluminum mast that looks in good shape but with peeling
    paint in some places and quite solidly attached in others. I talked with
    a sand blast outfit who advised they would blast the paint off using
    “glass beads” which is less abrasive than sand. Has anyone heard of this
    method? Any pointers would be appreciated.

    Standard method for soft metls such as aluminum or bronze.
