church in your LHD?If so, please send your town and name of your LHD to
us.We are working on a Polish Heritage Local Historic District that includes
a closed Catholic Church, Mater Delorosa and can use some other LHD as
examples for our City Council.
Thanks for your time,Olivia Mausel, Co-Chair

Subject: [MassHistPres] Soda blasting interior brick walls?
To: "MHC MHC listserve" <masshistpres at cs.umb.edu>
Message-ID:
<bdb167e11393a8ca2a1b8683c1daa5dd.squirrel at varuna.lunarpages.com>
Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1
Interviewed a soda-blasting company owner and walked through the client's
house in Boston's South End today with him. He insisted that, in his
experience, thoroughly soda-blasting interior brick to clean and remove
any residual paint, plaster, or dirt might do more damage to the brick
than hitting it for a briefer period of time with what he described as a
lighter "sand-type" media (which he called "Green Lightning").
I gave him a couple of sample bricks with and without paint to test, but
it was his opinion that any media is going to eat into the brick surface
somewhat, and that as long as he used a lighter media (and not the heavy
"Black Beauty" sand used in industrial sandblasting) the brick should be
OK, especially as it is interior masonry not exposed to weathering and
moisture.
I have a real aversion to the idea of using sand-type blasting or
abrasives on bricks, so I am not sure what to make of this fellow's
insistence on blasting something harder than soda against the walls. Do
you have any thoughts on this situation? We are still trying to find
another vendor to bid on soda-blasting (or whatever "blasting" is
appropriate), to compare against New England Soda Blasting.
If you have any recommended soda-blasting companies that you would be
willing to refer to us we'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your
advice, thoughts and input re this and/or other techniques.

text/plain;charset=3Diso-8859-1<br><br>Interviewed a soda-blasting =
company owner and walked through the client's<br>house in Boston's South =
End today with him. He insisted that, in his<br>experience, thoroughly =
soda-blasting interior brick to clean and remove<br>any residual paint, =
plaster, or dirt might do more damage to the brick<br>than hitting it =
for a briefer period of time with what he described as a<br>lighter =
"sand-type" media (which he called "Green =
Lightning").<br><br>I gave him a couple of sample bricks with and =
without paint to test, but<br>it was his opinion that any media is going =
to eat into the brick surface<br>somewhat, and that as long as he used a =
lighter media (and not the heavy<br>"Black Beauty" sand used =
in industrial sandblasting) the brick should be<br>OK, especially as it =
is interior masonry not exposed to weathering and<br>moisture.<br><br>I =
have a real aversion to the idea of using sand-type blasting =
or<br>abrasives on bricks, so I am not sure what to make of this =
fellow's<br>insistence on blasting something harder than soda against =
the walls. Do<br>you have any thoughts on this situation? We are still =
trying to find<br>another vendor to bid on soda-blasting (or whatever =
"blasting" is<br>appropriate), to compare against New England =
Soda Blasting.<br><br>If you have any recommended soda-blasting =
companies that you would be<br>willing to refer to us we'd appreciate =
it. Thanks in advance for your<br>advice, thoughts and input re =
this and/or other techniques.<br><br><br>Ward Hamilton<br><br>OLDE =
