There is nothing really special about our soda blaster setup. We got it about 5 years ago when we were restoring a WWII GPW (jeep). It's just a stock soda blaster from Harbor Freight. The media we use is standard Arm and Hammer coarse soda, also available from Harbor Freight. We run at about 90 psi. It's a little finicky (being as cheap as it is), but it really does a great job cleaning up delicate hardware. You should see what it will do to an old carburetor body! It doesn't really have enough oomph to remove large quantities of CARC, paint, or rust, but it cleans up rubber, glass, castings, electrical connectors... It makes a really dusty mess outside, but it's great for some things.Hi Michael. I noticed in the blog you guys have used the soda blaster to restore a ton of stuff. In addition to the NATO power connector it seems you guys have done air lines, hoses, etc.
Do you mind sharing the details of your recipe? What media specs? What pressure? Special nozzle? Any other important factors?
Thank you.
Cheers,
Michael
