Default Baking Soda Blasting

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.

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.

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
