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.
gunna give that a go![]()
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.
Nice...![]()
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.
Ive got one. Im gunna steal some soda out the kitchen and give it a go.
That's fantastic. Trying to do that by hand and get that kind of finish would take hours. Well done
I am inspired
I did some youtubing to see how it was done... I like the
electrolisis rust removal as well
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. ![]()

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

This looks like it would also work quiet well, and from pricing it out, would only cost about 70 - 80 bucks to make.
dose a nice job of keeping the mess in and also recycling the soda, not to mention removing the likly hood of breathing the stuff in while working
