Baking Soda Blasting

[2 strokes 4 life]

Just tried doing some of this and it works. So cheap and easy too. I did my carb, one rad, linkage, pull rods, and now the frame and swing arm are next.

What is this? What does it do? A new way to clean?

It's amazing technology. A buddy of mine came really close to opening a businees to just do soda blasting. It's great for restoration work.

Do a Google search but here is a link to look at I grabbed

Yeah I will take some pics. I ran out of soda today doing my blasting. Does not hit rust well but it helps and wont eat away clear prtotctive coats. Will take some pics soon. Works alright for the money.

I just mage a homemade one from some hose and an air blower.

there was a link ona n earlier post to an air cooled vw site that showed a super cheap way to do this withan air compressor.
i have this idiotic idea that
im going to try and mate a $20 tire inflator to a $20 portable tire fill tank and have a sweet soda blaster.
@ instructables
there is a blasting cabinet (for small items) that can be made on the cheap too!
