    Soda Blasting in Blast Cabinet

    I was wondering if you can soda blast using a regular blast cabinet that you would ordinarily use glass bead in. If so can you use the same nozzle and can you use regular baking soda? I want to clean up some carbs for re coloring and was afraid the glass bead would be too harse on the carbs. Any ideas or info greatly appreciated.

    Sheldon, I would think this would work, I have been considering a gentler media at times in my bead cabinet. Other options include plastic media, and walnut shells. Both are gentler than the glass, I believe the walnut shells are the least abrasive. Nozzle wise, I think you can use the same setup. I am wondering if the soda will generate too much dust to see inside though, I think I would opt for the other choices. You can buy it from Eastwood, and Skat Blast in Canton Ohio.....see the link below...Craig

      i bead blast carbs at low pressure(#50 psi) with no change in surface texture.it will remove rust and corrosion that the carb cleaner does not touch. soda blasting in a bead blast cabinet will cause so much dust you could not see in the cabinet.

        I use soda in my blast cabinet. It is very dusty but if you have a vacuum attachment it will clear the dust adequately. Soda is great for those delicate jobs such as aluminum.
