soda blast gun?
« on: November 25, 2017, 04:33:22 PM »
Preparing to soda blast the engine and gearbox cases, etc. I finally got around to repairing my big compressor -- a deVilbiss 5hp rig that's supposed to push 8 cfm at 90 psi -- 20 gallon tank (sticky check valve). Runs great now and should be plenty powerful.

I see siphon guns online for as little as $12 and as much as $60. What do you use for soda, with what kind of nozzle?

I use a setup I purchased from Eastwood that was on sale. Nothing more than a suction gun with replaceable nozzles. Get yourself a good respirator, you will need it. Does a great job on engine cases.

I have a gravity feed soda blaster (and dryer) that I will use on my TR6R project. I use Arm and Hammer baking soda in the big bags from Sam’s...
