Why soda blasting has become so popular...even looks like fun...

Yep looks fast, and it does a great job!! But I think this guy is breaking a ton of laws right there! He has media blowing all over the place let alone all to toxic bottom paint! They are to be putting a tent around that boat, and it isn't going to be as fun then when you can't see and you are sweating you crackers off!

I've seen guys at the boat yard blast the bottom paint off without a tent, they use a suction device mounted right on the nozzle of the blaster, the suction surrounds the outgoing media and sucks it right back in the hopper after it bounce off the hull, with the blasted bottom paint, it still makes a bit of a cloud, but nothing like it would with out any suction

Bottom paint comes off by design while running a boat what would be any difference if you where blasting it off. I thought they took all the harmful stuff out of the paint.

Nope, the harmful stuff is still in there. Some is not as bad as the older stuff, but there is still toxic stuff in bottom paint.
