What is Wet Blasting?

Wet blasting (wet style blasting and liquid honing) mixes abrasives (projection material or media) with a liquid (mainly water) to create a "slurry" that looks like muddy water, which is sprayed by compressed air from a dedicated nozzle to process the target workpiece.

It is this collision with the workpiece that does roughening, grinding, polishing and such to its surface.
