If you are doin a shell, DON'T get it 'sand' blasted as it damages te metal and creates extra work. Get it stripped at Redi-Strip at blacktown
Other than that, dunno...!

Sheesh! You'd wanna make sure you didn't get any into cracks and crevices!
walnut husk or plastic media/beads is better - doesn't take off the surface of the factory steel

I was going to write it down at the time..!
Bugger.. now I'm going to have to go find it..
The applicator was a simple gurney looking device and the operator was stripping away without any safety equipment out in the open air.. I though to
myself at the time..This is a lot cleaning than chemical or sand stripping.. They had the car on a rotisserie..

is soda blasting the same as dry ice as there is a guy up here in Brisbane that uses dry ice more environmentally freindly if you are into protecting
mother earth
