I made the simple one from info on this forum. Did a great job on my trans. Any ideas on how to contain the dust though? I did the trans on my driveway and positioned an industrial fan behind me. My back yard was white by the time I was done.

Water? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Just a heads up gang. This is commercial soda not Arm & Hammer stuff. While you can get a simple gun and shoot Arm & Hammer (good for carbs and small parts), the commercial stuff comes in 50lb bags and you sometimes pay by the bag. The commercial soda has the consistency of large grained sand. My car was under $600 because we had glass hoods and we DA'd all of the flat surfaces prior to bringing it in. We used soda on both trunks, the engine compartment and the underside.

I was worried about paint/ primer adhesion with soda blasting as I'd read about the chalky residue that it leaves - some say just soap and water will take it off, some say add vineger to neutralize the ph, others talk about the need for elbow grease. The thought of my paint falling off led me to getting glass beads instead for my project. For engines/ carbs, the soda seems the way to go though as it is water soluble.

You need to switch to sand to take out the rust areas. They say that soda blasting can take the paper off a cigarette filter without harming the filter. I switched my cabinet to soda...

It leaves the metal as new as the day it was born. There were a few spots around the engine shelf that needed rust repair and that was spot blasted with a sand blaster and replaced with new metal. Soda even left the factory seam sealer in place which is what we wanted. |
