When I put both pumps in there last weekend they were free from the growth and now they are covered in it. I'll try and get a pic of the other one that is still soaking. What would be my best bet to get all of the parts clean and free from the hard growth? What about the internal parts with the deposits? Sounds like I need to clean up the shop and put my sand blast cabinet together that I've had for a few years. lol This post was edited by RTR at 08:26:08 01/27/13. [Reply]   [No Email]

Put it on the flatest surface you can find, and wet sand them back flat and clean. Any other surfaces, you could mask off the flats and carefully blast them, but I'd try to use soda as it will not cut the aluminum, but should do the oxide. This is what they use with aluminum airplane parts when they restore old planes. Sand would be bad and glass beads not quite as bad as sand. [Reply]  [No Email]

If I remember correctly, it didn't really do a great job, and made a HUGE mess of dust and soda everywhere. It seemed like it was just "blowing" soda everywhere without any power to clean anything. I'm using an 80 gallon heavy duty oil drive compressor that fills up to 175 psi and shuts off. Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see [Reply]  [No Email]

Tried the soda blaster again with the big compressor. Just blew soda everywhere with out really cleaning anything. This is a cub hyd pump I just blasted. You can see the paint, dirt and grease still on it. I flaked off the clump of dirt with a screwdriver and he blaster wouldn't even do it. This post was edited by RTR at 14:01:11 01/27/13.
