DIY soda blaster

[BrewBeemer]

Had to forward this for those that clean soft items, cast zinc, pot metal, aluminum, brass or copper to like new without damage. Just wash and dry after.

I'll be making use of this one, thanks for posting.

I've tried this, it does work well. It's nicer than bead blast on soft metals like aluminum. I've considered getting another small blast cabinet just for soda.

Now I want to soda blast my keggles. Seems easier than polishing.

I wonder what soda blasted stainless would look like. Try it out and post some pics!!!

 

[BrewBeemer]

Stainless keggles would laugh at soda, use glass bead for a soft frosted finish.
Best part it'll hide the dents, deep scars and scratches, best to dress down sharp scar edges.

Very Cool. Thank you for sharing.

I've got the original PICT 34-3 carb for my bug. It looks like its finally going to get rebuild and put back in action.

Just because I am so very jealous of your welding ability, I'm going to point out that you meant to say 34 Pict/3.

The 34-3 is just a dual port carb gromitdj.

Solex with short and tall intakes for a 56 Speedster here.
Custom tuned balanced exhaust with SS slash tips, hear and
feel the cam hands over the tips.

Granted the soda blaster is basic just convert to stainless tubing an upgrade in quality for your blaster.
A vibrator motor would also help in the soda feeding.

LOL. Yea sorry. My tongue got wrapped around my eye tooth and I couldn't see what I was saying.

You've got me there Beemer. I don't know speedsters.

But the original VW carb nomenclature is Solex 34 pict/3. Anywho, I was just busting Greenmont's balls because I can't do more than a sheetmetal mig spotweld on my bug, and I'm jealous.

Thanks for the link Beemer, thar's a great site.
