- I was watching a car restoration show recently ("Dream Car Garage" on Speedvision) and they mentioned something called "soda blasting." Using Baking Soda as the media, this method is supposed to be l

- Soda blasting versus sand blasting to avoid warping body panels is a little bit overboard for an MG Midget. I'd say that soda blasting is more for delicate aluminum or thin hand made panels... The Mi

- Many sand blasters aren't used to working on thin sheet metal. They're used to working on stone and heavy iron. Cosequently they use to coarse a sand, too high a pressure, and work one area too long

- I respectfully disagree. I have seen door skins, fenders, bonnets and boots all given surfaces resembling a pond surface on a breezy day by blasting with sand. For body panels use soda, crushed walnu

- I understand soda blasting is also better if you don't want to etch the metal at all. Apparently it removes the paint and will not remove/scratch any metal. Lots of restorers use it for the old/expen

- I think the confusion is based on the word "sand" in sand blasting. If you go to a Auto Store and ask for "sandblasting" sand they usually give you coal slag without even a comment. Few people use ac

- The only problem with this theory is that the coal slag is going to have a high silica content, depending on its origin. Western coal slag will actually be about 60-70% silica oxide. David (ex coal c

- Well, I did mention that the silica, which would be a major component of the coal slag, would be in the oxide form. Coal slag is usually bottom coal ash that has exceeded its melting point. And as ox
