Така... Справка с моряк показа следното:
Най-напред думата е "бластьор". Той почиства корпуса на кораба с пясъкоструйка до метален блясък преди той да бъде боядисан. Думата идвала от руски (макар че на мен ми звучи на английски).

OK, blaster it izzz!

Kalinka Hristova Feb 23, 2015:

Btw, while browsing the internet I came up with another idea:
The word "бластьор" might be derived from "(sand) blaster" (пясъкоструйка, in Bulgarian). Before painting, some surfaces first need to be cleaned with sand blaster. This will remove grease, older paint coats, and other imperfections which might ruin the quality of the new painting. So, if this makes sense, this person would be responsible for cleaning of the surface to be painted; then comes the painter. Only there's no such thing as "пясъкоструйно боядисване", as Albena Dimitrova suggested.

I'm not sure Henky,... ...but look at this link: http://isometrixxx.com/viewpage.php?page_id=13
There are some typos in the text, but generally speaking it is OK (of course, if you do not understand something, just ask). The text only describes some painting activities, and there's nothing about plastics.

This specialised ship service company also says that they have "бластьори" in their staff: http://vsservice.bg/services.php , but they also have "бояджии" (painters).
