[AT] soda blasting

[James Peck]

Do you blast in a cabinet or in the open?

Milo Holroyd AT List Member and soda blastor <milo at milosmachineshed.com> ;I love using soda on carb bodies and such. No worries about plugged orifices after rinsing in hot water, and a quick blow dry. Even does a good job on the old cast iron Scheblers.


James AT List Member and advocate of upgradeable tractor vocational training <jamesgpeck at hotmail.com>; A sandblaster that feeds out the bottom converts to a soda blaster with this kit. It looks like you could easily duplicate 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.
