I had a bit of time spare today and thought I'd have a crack at one of the DIY Soda Blasters that are on YouTube ....
Total cost less than $20 + about half a $3.00 box of baking soda and this carb .....
ended up looking like this ......
Just need to run a rebuild kit through it and job done. Took about half an hour, looked a bit like casper the ghost and the back yard had a decent dusting, but all in all far more painless than hours of scrubbing and pissing around.

Better with a bit of a breeze ..... heading towards the neighbour that you don't like much if you've got one. Passing the baking soda through a sieve first works better also.

Was thinking one of these guns would get better suction???
Super cheap have got one on sale at the moment, but I was just being a tight arse. The only think I purchased was the baking soda the rest I had in the shed.

That's fantastic. Trying to do that by hand and get that kind of finish would take hours. Well done

I've got a DIY sand blaster that I have used for cleaning up mag wheels, it has 3 different size nozzels and does a great job, only drawback is you need realy dry sand or it won't draw it up the hose I've been told that using sand is damned dangerouse though but I do as these fellas do and keep up-wind, and it realy gobbles up the air (I only have a small tank on my compressor) this looks the go for small parts though and probably won't user as much air, I've never tried the soda, that looks the go. 馃憤馃憤

seriously don't sandblast without propper breathing gear. it's seriously dangerous.
