[s-cars] Does anyone know of a mediablaster that "recovers" it's spent media?

[matt ludwig.]

Chris,

I used PEEL AWAY® 1 and probably did 2 treatments across the whole  
section. It was not simple, easy, painless by any means at all, but  
the results were good. The other option was to seal off the room with  
a layer on the floor, and then media-blast it, and have a vacuum  
running to try to collect as much air born particles as possible. Much  
harder, painful and costly than the above.

I will also say, that i applied this to a very small portion of smooth  
concrete at the same time, and everything came off as smooth as that  
new child's bottom you are going to have. : ) That said, the more  
porous it is, the harder it is to get off using this method.
