  • Soda blasting gun I use: amzn.to/2BlI6kw
    In the video you can see all the parts of my setup, ther specs and watch them in action. Watch in 1080p.
    I was attracted to soda blasting because of its many benefits.
    Unfortunately you always get what you pay for and an air blower gun and a piece of hose will only get you so far. In order to get the real benefits of soda blasting you need something more serious.
    After a lot of trial and error I found out that this setup is the best combination of investment and result.

      @driving 4 answers How do you get stuff from amazon? I mean we live in the same country (checked up your channel) but whenever I looked at amazon if the tool was 30$, shipping was 30-60$. That's why I'm skipping it and looking for tools on eBay or local online platforms.

    I give this a thumbs up, it's informative and simple.
    Just be cautious and careful aerating a mold, can be dangerous for lungs.
    Of course don't clean brake parts like this, use mask etc.
    Wear gloves with hazardous stuff guys.... just a friendly reminder from someone who has had cancer.

    Use anti- caking agent ( silicone dioxide ) @ 0.6% and mix it up well with the Soda and you will never have to shake it like that again.

    Try adding an in-line water separator or a DIY aftercooler for your compressor. I know from experience that it's essential to have dry air for sandblasting to keep the media from clumping. You'll notice a big difference. Good video.

    It sounds counterintuitive, but I use salt in my harbor freight soda gun. It's cheep, and works better than soda. Of course I typically pressure wash or use a high strength detergent afterwards. I have an aluminum manifold that was cleaned quicker and better than with soda.
    Just a suggestion.

    Funny at 3:30 and after to see you struggling to make the device works: shaking, turning knobs etc...
    It's gravity fed! Can't work vertically or worse upside down.
    Just make sure the objects you want to blast are more or less in horizontal line of sight of your gun (may be quite difficult for a cylinder block...).
    Also blasting soda have anti crumpling additives and is coarser, yet less prone to clog the feeder.

    • @d4a
      @d4a  Před 8 lety +7

      +ant Sor I already explained this in the comments below. I use regular store bought soda. I don't have access to blasting soda. I am turning knobs and shaking the gun to get the soda to move because from time to time it gets stuck. It doesn't happen all too often and its a small price to pay considering the price I pay for the store bought soda compared to blasting soda (blasting soda is significantly more expensive even without the shipping I would have to pay, since I can't get it where I live) and I still get the job done just fine. Of course this not might be suitable for professional grade blasting but that wasn't the goal here anyway.

    you need to be using a blast cabinet to reclaim your media and keep it sorta clean. I got 120 lbs of glass beads I have been using for at least 17 years and since I tank everything that goes into the cabinet and de-grease it prior the only contaminates in my beads is carbon and rust and beads look like new. Although I run my cabinet at 120 psi . your just throwing money away doing that on the ground like that.

  • @JohnMSawyer

    I've had good luck doing low-powered soda blasting on aluminum and painted steel using a less powerful air compressor. I'm not sure what exact model it is, because someone painted mine, including its labels, before I bought it used, but it seems to be identical to a Rolair FC2002, and very similar to a Jenny A2G246-HC4V. These have a 2 hp MK246 single-cylinder air compressor motor, four gallon tank (two tanks of two gallons each), and they do about 4.12 CFM (cubic feet per minute) at 95 psig, which it's able to maintain while the motor is running continuously during the blasting.
    For the blasting gun, I have a Central Pneumatic blasting kit that I bought from Harbor Freight, item 37025, that comes with a plastic bin in which you put the blasting media, and while it's a siphon-fed setup, it works for me, but I can see that a gravity-fed gun might be better. I kept finding that the siphon tube keeps pulling so much of the blasting soda out of the bin, that it's not long before it creates empty space around the end of the siphon hose that's picking up the media, so I have to shake the bin every now and then to collapse the pile of media back around the end of the siphon hose. I later realized that if I attached the plastic bin to the top of the compressor motor setup, that the vibrating motor might keep the bin shaking enough so that the media would keep flowing towards and into the siphon end of the hose. I haven't tested that theory yet, because I have my compressor motor torn apart to clean and paint it, and that process isn't done yet.
    Using baking soda, I was able to blast off some average paint from an old valve cover, and some light carbon from a cylinder head, but it wasn't able to remove some of the more embedded bits of carbon. For that, I'll be trying ground walnut shells next, which are the next Mohs hardness scale value above soda. I first used Arm & Hammer baking soda, because I wanted to see if it would work, and it worked well within limits, as I describe. Next I tried baking soda for washing clothes, which is a little harder, and it worked a little better, but even when I wore protective goggles, a couple bits of it got into my eyes, and itched like hell, which didn't happen with the baking soda.
    I found that baking soda couldn't blast away congealed oil, because it would just become embedded in the oil, so you need to thoroughly clean off all oil first.
    I really recommend doing your blasting outdoors if possible, or in a blast cabinet, because as you can see in this video, it gets all over very quickly.

    It would work better if you used actual blasting soda. Store bought soda is to fine which is why the nozzle gets clogged so often. I discovered that the hard way and when I made the switch to actual blasting soda the gun worked flawlessly.

  • @paulsearle1351
    @paulsearle1351 Před 7 lety +17

    the soda in a gravity gun needs to fall "down" to the air feed, i.e with gravity, once you hold the gun on its side, horizontal the media cant fall, hence you shake it, change the air etc, nothing works unless the gun is upright, not great for this application

    Go to harbor freight and get a sand blast cabinet and 50lbs of blasting soda, it's a much better setup. I have one and it works great

    • @d4a
      @d4a  Před 8 lety +2

      +sniper152 Not everyone lives in the US where the is harbor freight. The blasting cabinet is an additional cost and I could have never cleaned a transmission housing inside a cabinet. The point of soda is that its environmentally friendly and can be washed away with water with zero harm to the environment, so getting a cabinet might be a bit redundant for soda blasting. It of course is easier to work and less of a hassle with a cabinet, but my aim here was to make a setup that is easy on the wallet but yields great and fast results, unlike the air blower gun and hose setup which is only good for blasting tiny stuff for short periods of time and wastes a ton of soda.

    I wonder if rust could be removed by first giving the part the electrolysis treatment (see this elsewhere on CZcams), which reduces the rust to a black form of iron oxide that can be scrubbed off. I haven't tried this, but it seems possible... Also, it seems that most CZcamsrs demonstrating this soda blasting technique are doing so without the benefit of a blasting cabinet. We're all trying to get results with minimum expense, aren't we?

    • @d4a
      @d4a  Před 6 lety

      +ptreth36696 Electrlysis would probably help, or maybe even work on it's own enough to make the soda blasting redundant? This is a diy video and a blasting cabinet would be a bit beyond what an average diy person has or wants to purchase, even if it is extremely useful. Soda isn't a health hazard, unlike sand, and you can easily wash it away, unlike sand, which also makes the cabinet less of a necessity.

      Sodablasting is not great at removing oxidisation on aluminium. It can do it but you will need A LOT of psi.

    • @JohnMSawyer
      @JohnMSawyer Před 8 lety +1

      I've found that even simple baking soda blasting as is done in this video, does fog some aluminum, though so far I've tried it only on a cylinder head--maybe this effect doesn't happen with harder aluminum. But it won't remove any aluminum since baking soda, and regular blasting soda, are softer than aluminum.

      Ok, first off let me apologize for possibly sounding like an ass. I tend to do that and I don't know why. Second, I'm sure you were able to blast the head to your satisfaction. Lastly, I was merely pointing out that if you were to orient the head so that the deck was perpendicular to the floor (ie standing up) and point the gun at it with the reservoir up, you would hardly ever have to shake the gun unless it was about empty. Other than that the head looked darn good.

    • @d4a
      @d4a  Před 8 lety +5

      +Dave S (Davenia419) What a nice and refreshing tone. Thank you. Now let me try and explain my side with a little bit more detail. Although this video is pretty badly made I honestly did a lot of experimenting with the soda before I made it. In my case the problem lies with the soda itself. This is store bought sodium bicarbonate, for baking and other kitchen related use. It somehow traps moisture in it no matter what you do to it, and no matter how I held the gun it needed shaking relatively often. Where I live actual blasting soda is unavailable and if I were to import it it would cost a small fortune. Plus, baking soda cost me like 50 cents for 1 kg, from what I can gather online blasting soda costs 40 USD for around 20 kg, so for the price of shaking I would have probably gone for the kitchen stuff even if I could get the blasting stuff. But, I am certain actual blasting soda doesn't need shaking and what you say about holding the gun stands 100% true in that case. In any case, thank you for your comment and feedback, I appreciate it.

      Store bought worked great for me. No soda can really remove rust unless you're blasting with some sort of industrial behemoth compressor. I did try several store bought and some were too fine, true, but the low quality budget brand ones are often a lot more coarse, at least here in the Balkans, so that's what I kept using. Sometimes they are a bit moist if they weren't stored properly by the supermarket, but they dry out within a day or two, just leave them in the open air :)

    Ok soda blasting , I'm just wondering for the harder stuff to remove would it work with salt, I mean salt tends to be more grity so perhaps salt would work on rust.

    • @jaredshaffer3901
      @jaredshaffer3901 Před 8 lety

      So, to remove rust, you want to coat everything with salt? That quite possibly sounds like the worst idea ever. They sell blasting media of different grits that you can use, no need to reinvent the wheel.

    • @flitsies
      @flitsies Před 8 lety

      Jared Shaffer Well we are talking about media that does not specifically rust, you wouldn't really use this type of blasting for steel or iron but clearly for aluminum or plastics or other types of delicate matter.
      So salt may well be a good idea as it will atomise at a much lower rate but might just be right not to damage the product.

    • @jaredshaffer3901
      @jaredshaffer3901 Před 8 lety +2

      You specifically mentioned rust...aluminum and plastics don't rust. Iron and steel do. Besides, even if you used it on aluminum I wouldn't want to coat everything in my garage/shop with salt. Like I said, there are already blasting medias out there for pretty much any scenario which aren't going to cause problems.

    • @flitsies
      @flitsies Před 8 lety +2

      Jared Shaffer But wouldn't you use some kind of box or container to restrict the dispersing of the media when being blasted.
      But you do make a fair point, however those blasting medias often are expensive whereas salt is cheap, and if you wash it off should cause no problems.
      It's only an idea.

    There's some soda that's on the surface after blasting. Does it come off with air or does it need a wash?

      You can soda blast it.

    • @chriskazaglis
      @chriskazaglis Před 7 lety

      The reason I asked is because although baking soda isn't very harmful it still is powder and a mild abrasive. so you want to get this off before you reassemble a cylinder head. so how do you get the hidden in tight oil galleys or caked on baking soda off?

    • @d4a
      @d4a  Před 7 lety

      +chriskazaglis If you're patient it all comes off with air, but I suggest a really good wash. You also need to polish the journals where you the cam will go after this, but just a bit is needed.

      +tdawg719 The sprayer is a German brand called BGS, you can get it on ebay from Germany for 30-50 USD plus shipping (search for BGS 3244). Brand isn't really important as long as its gravity fed and well made. If you're in the US the speedblaster is popular there I think, and works great from what I hear.

      No, a head's valve seat is much harder than baking soda, regular blasting soda, walnut shells, etc. You can get much harder blasting media that will damage a valve seat, but of course don't use it on a valve seat.

    Will this remove corrosion from carburettor body?

    • @d4a
      @d4a  Před 5 lety

      Hmm, depends on the casting metal, if it's soft it can make a noticeable improvement. It's great against light superficial rust if the compressor is powerful enough, but it will never be able to remove hard, deep rust like sandblasting can. But of course sand blasting carbs and throttle bodies is a no-no. If you need to get rid of tough rust I would completely disassemble the carb and leave the body soaking in some heavy duty chemical rust remover for several days and repeat the process.
