Aftermarket Daily News 5 5 Thursday, November 7, 2019 A Tool You'll Love for the Jobs You Don't Dustless Blasting ® is the world's fastest, most cost-effective and environmentally friendly surface preparation tool. It does everything a sandblaster can do, but better. With Dustless Blasting, you can strip paint and coatings faster, use less media and never worry about containing a plume of dust. So how does it work? The Dustless Blaster mixes water and abrasive inside the blast tank. During blasting, the water encapsulates the abrasive and the coating being removed. Instead of becoming air- borne, the trapped abrasive falls to the ground, keeping surrounding areas clean and free from mess. This allows you to blast in open environments, even when others are working nearby. Plus, you will save money on containment and cleanup costs. By introducing water, it also drasti- cally increases the mass and energy the machine is putting out. Think of it this way – would you rather throw a handful of wet sand or dry sand at a target? The dry sand wouldn't have much impact on the target, but it would blow in the wind and make a big mess. The same amount of wet sand would hit the target with more force, and wouldn't blow in the wind. Additionally, this allows you to use less media and work more efficiently. This not only speeds up your production time, but also cuts your consumables cost. What about rust? Dustless Blasting not only strips away old paint and rust, but actual- ly cleans the surface that you are blasting so that it is free of contaminates and sol- uble salts that cause flash rust. In addi- tion to this, the Rust Inhibitor leaves a freshly stripped surface primer ready for up to 72 hours. This makes it the perfect method of paint stripping for the automo- tive restoration business. Auto restoration experts also love Dustless Blasting because it can be used on all metals with no fear of friction, heat or warping of the sur- faces. The water used in the blasting process helps to keep the sur- face about 10 degrees cooler than the ambient air temperature. This helps to eliminate the surface heat generated by friction. No surface heat means no warp- ing. For more information, go to www .dustlessblasting.com, email info@ dustlessblasting.com, call 713.869.2227 or stop by SEMA booth #24693.

According to Forbes magazine, here are a few of the main clues to watch out for: Traditional franchise networks are known for passing along "hidden fees" to their members (whether they be addition- al start-up or entry costs, or fees for mar- keting and sales training). Typical large franchisers often promise lofty "average earnings" (it's important to note that success always varies on the skill set and resources of individual operators – often while rev- enue costs may be high, corresponding expenses may be as well, which is why it's critical to have a candid, open assess- ment before signing up and evaluate median income numbers, rather than averages). The presence of stringent rules, and in effect, a strict "boss" (one of the rea- Bullet Liner (Cont'd. from p. 39) sons many operators are attracted to the freedom of independent ownership is the opportunity to have an entrepreneurial career of their own, but many franchisers still operate with a staunch structure that can mimic more traditional employers… and bosses). You're trapped! Many typical fran- chise networks make it very difficult for an operator who is unsatisfied to leave (by providing strict out-clauses and non- competes, and requiring that the member agree to an extreme number of regula- tions and provisions). At Bullet Liner, you have the "Freedom to Perform" – the type of free- dom that attracted you to this exciting line of work in the first place.
