B I got the same catalog and saw that too. Soda blasters are usually a
lot more expensive than that, so I may consider it as well. I have
never used soda to blast, but I do know that it is the preferred
method for fiberglass bodies and has been used on Corvettes for years.
I have an old Lotus, and they have extremely fragile bodies (so thin
that you can clearly see light thru them when not painted) so that's
why I am interested. I don't know that there would be a major
advantage to soda blasting for metal car bodies. I have a blast
cabinet where I do glass bead for most items and walnut shells for
engine parts and fragile items. My understanding is that soda can
handle both tasks.

Hello,
I got a new Eastwood catalog yesterday, and they are
advertising a $129 kit to convert a regular pressure
pot blaster to a soda blaster. (They also sell a
couple of blasters with the kit already installed.)
Has anybody ever tried soda blasting? B Do you think a
kit like this will have enough mojo to do a car body
in a reasonable amount of time? B This sounds a lot
more appealing than doing my whole car body with paint
stripper!
