Soda blasting works a treat on Aluminum. It will make cast Aluminum look like new and won't damage anodized finishes. You can clean a bank of motorcycle carburetors without taking the assembly apart. The advantage of soda is it will dissolve in water and wash away unlike glass or silicon abrasives.

Not totally stripping like bead blasting, but it is impressive as a neutral environment media. Would probably be very safe on plastics and aluminum parts or plating that needs to be preserved. I've used salt before, and this seems to be one step up in the soft cleaner products.

Ground walnut shell is considered to be a soft abrasive. It is often used to strip paint from aluminum on aircraft. It is hard and abrasive enough to remove the paint, but soft enough so that it won't damage the thin aluminum sheet. It is also used on plastics and zinc parts. And of course, it would do no harm to the local environment.

I have a blast cabinet with glass media as an abrasive. I also have this handheld blaster like the one you are using. I heard about sada blasters but have never used baking soda. I did not realize you can blast with baking soda. Next time you are at Harbor Freight, buy one of those media blasting hoods. They are fastened to a hard hat and work great along with the use of a good respirator they also sell. That cheap paper respirator is not a good choice when blasting.

Very interesting and creative.

What would you guesstimate for an effective distance? I'm thinking I might try one of these on a fiberglass shop ceiling that's covered in diesel soot, but hoping I won't have to do it in half inch strips lol.

Good video.

I keep thinking of the cleanup

This might work great to clean a pool with built up calcium. It will mess with the pH a bit but that's easy to fix. Clearing out a bunch of old sand is not!

That really seemed to work well considering it's iron. I was not expecting that, I'm looking to do aluminum. What were you using for a compressor?

I've used walnut shells through mine. Works well enough but the hopper runs out fairly quickly.

Yes; good reminders & valuable points here for anyone who values their health! It can be easy to forget or ignore what seems benign. Young people especially take note: abuses to the body can add up overtime. So smart to do the simple preventions now and save on possible long term suffering. Naturally, factors will likely increase or decrease overall risks (ambient fresh air flow, duration and frequency of exposure to hazardous particulates, person’s health predisposition). With all factors being equal, it seems baking soda is healthier than the silica in sand. But great advice to consider the material you are removing and blowing into your space.

Sup man! Can you tell me the approx grit of soda basting? I mean regular sand blast is like 240grit. Someome tell me Soda blasting is alot alot smoother, thx!

@JnitraM078

2 ай бұрын

It is about the same grit level. Grit is the size of the particle. What makes it different is the hardness of the particle. So a 220 grit piece of sand is obviously "rock hard" and much more dense whereas baking soda is not near as dense and nowhere near as hard. Therefore it's kinetic energy out of the gun is far less than that of sand. Which is why it generally won't take something like the project he is doing with trailer hubs down to bare metal. But will be good enough for some rust inhibitor primer and some paint to help it not rust like that again. The advantage of the baking soda is for doing softer metals as well. Removing oxidation, grime, and crap from things like aluminum and even polished metals. It's effectiveness is high without scratching and marring those things because it's not as dense therefore not as abrasive as we can say. So, the grit level for different media can be the same with far different results in the finished product given all properties involved. I hope that makes sense.

Excellent work. Can you tell me the compressor pressure setting for this job_ Thank you.

I plan to redo my trailer deck and was thinking about taking care of the rust on the trailer frame then primer it before install the new deck. I saw a sand blaster and it needs a big compressor…the cost of the blaster and the big compressor don’t warrant the motivation as I will only use one time only. If the blaster you are using can take care of the rust…I am excited. I am an amateur so the frame doesn’t have to be perfect…just needs to take the most critical part off. Hope I can get your input.

Baking soda will not effect the surface of aluminum. It wont even scratch it. In fact it polishes it to a shine. If your looking to cerakote or paint aluminum you need to use the aluminum oxide for the rough texture finish you want. If your careful this soda blasting will remove paint scuffs from a fender bender without removing the clear coat of the main vehicle, think paint transfer marks. Takes rust stains off rims also without bothering the rim or tire at all. Polishes brass and silver really well!

It's all about high air pressure and a bigggggg volume tank

@rickmarkgraf2617

2 ай бұрын

Because the main factor is time. A small volume compressor can't keep up with the blaster airflow, so it keeps working. A small tank doesn't provide enough reserve to allow the compressor to stop or to achieve a high enough pressure. The media has to move fast and hit hard, so higher pressure is needed. A large compressor will fill a tank faster because it can compensate for the outflow of air through the nozzle. A large tank can fill to the needed pressure, then let the compressor rest while the reserve is used. Otherwise, you have to wait for the pressure to build back up, and that takes time. I use my blue max with a 20 gallon tank for sand basting, spray painting, and turbo grinding or sanding. My pancake compressor is for stapler, brad nailer, and short duration dustoff.
