[AT] soda blasting

[Aaron Dickinson]

My brother-in-law’s father does soda blasting in Minnesota, I haven’t seen it or talked to him too much about it, but he runs an airport and his primary projects are airplanes (read a lot of aluminum). The soda does a great job of removing the paint without pitting the metal surface. Not sure how well it removes iron rust.

A sandblaster that feeds out the bottom converts to a soda blaster with this kit. It looks like you could easily dulicate it.

I am guessing that soda is more negatively affected by moisture than sand and that all soda would need to be removed after each blast session. Looks like you can blow the soda out with this set of valves.

Soda blasting apparently does not remove so much metal from smooth surfaces.
