im almost certain with the footage you need pressure pot... the siphon deals are for very small jobs what size commpressor do you have..... a no 4 nozzle is 1/4 in and needs 90 cfm to maintain 100 lbs pressure

The blaster tool will be rated in so many Cubic Feet @ a given pressure, (it will be high), ie: 10 cu ft @ 90 psi, your compressor needs to be rated at more than that. Otherwise your pressure will drop off and you'll have to wait for the compressor to refill the manifold/tank.
What are you stripping off? Bark, dirt, old chinking? Might consider another way, like angle head grinder with course wire brush.

We used that Behr liquid rawhide stain that was so popular back in the late 80s....horrible stuff, and hard to get off. I have a masters degree in angle head grinding log buildings. Cant think of a worse job. Was looking for a better way. Watched some videos of a professional log refinishing company today and after using a sandblaster on a few projects went back to the grinders.....maybe its the best way after all but its no fun. I have about 20 cabins left to do.

Again, what are you stripping off? The grey weathered wood surface? A sandblaster will require a fairly large compressor, read, expensive.

To much air is better then not enough air if it’s a big job just rent a bigger compressor or if you lose pressure its clear the plug time over and over.

Why cant you use a power washer. I have stripped beams with a good power washer and its fast. That's not a bad idea.

I was gonna suggest a power washer too, but I figured you wouldn't have an adequate water supply, gotta be a fairly unlimited supply like city water with good pressure to feed the pump. Is the site remote? You might need to have a high capacity pump for that, like a large trash pump.

I use 2-inch pressure pumps for our water system as well.
