Hello, Has anyone heard or know about Soda Blasting? I heard of it somewhere, but know nothing about it. I have some parts to strip and repaint..thought I would try it.

Thanks in advance,

Deamer

Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) is what is used in soda blasting. It is water soluable so you can blast carbs and intricate items and then just rinse them with water thoroughly and you are done. Sand on the other hand (or glass bead) is not soluable and it could cause some real problems in intricate items. I got the big box of Arm & Hammer from Sam's Club and put it in my blast cabinent (after fully cleaned out) and I mix in a bunch of water so it turns in to a slurry and blast it with my normal gun. It does cycle thru pretty well. I have dont a few carbs with very nice results. Arm & Hammer is cheap and if you are just doing some small restoration parts I would recommend this DIY way. - Brian

I have herd of soda blasting for thin sheet metals that sand may blow though. It's less abrassive.

The soda blaster we used on pattern tooling does a nice job wet or dry, (wet to keep dust down). But the media is expensive, and if you use it wet, the soda solution seeps into every crack and crevice, then when it drys the crystals reform....can cause some problems around seals..etc. But, if you are using it on sheet metal it would probably be ok, but I can't think of an advantage over sand blasting. good luck.

We just had a bunch of stainless rail hangers soda blasted to keep them from rusting here at the plant. SO far they are not rusting back like before. I guess the ferrous metal was gouged in them when they bent them at manufacture. We tried other ways to clean them but this is the best we found. Problem is it is expensive and the soda media is not reusable like other kinds of media are. Cost nearly the price of the new hagers to have them done.
