DIY or Cheap Soda Blaster - Which Works Best ? - Comparison and Review

Which works best, DIY or Cheap Soda Blaster? I needed a soda blaster for one of my projects and decided to make one with things I had laying around. I have a few clips that show how to put one together, but found that getting it just right became a challenge. I got one to work but the DIY soda blaster left a bit to be desired.

So I bought a cheap soda blaster on line and did a comparison and review to see how it would perform as compared to the DIY soda blaster. Along with a bag of bicarbonate of soda, I got some interesting results. See the results for yourself!

To be honest, I'm not sure how I ever got things done without a soda blaster. Whether you are stripping paint, cleaning metal or old carburetors, even stripping wood furniture a soda blaster is indispensable.

The beauty of the simpler soda blasters is that the can handle a variety of media, sand, garnet, soda, or even aluminum oxide are all suitable media that can be used.

Was there enough of a gap between your hose and the air lance to draw the soda into the air stream?

Which is better, soda blaster or sand blaster? I suspect the nozzle is the same. Can you recommend a air compressor for the job?

Good video 👍👍, thanks. Do you think the Neiko setup is effective enough to remove calcium scale from pool tile ?

[rossilake]

Jose' Your Right! That little blaster would do the job. The DIY thing is a waste of time. I'm your age, we dont have unlimited years left.

Anyone know if you can use this versus a blast cabinet for prepping parts for cerakote?

[tortron]

About $20 for the Blaster here (Cheap China one if same design), I'd be out that just on the hose

Thanks or this. I try to make my own stuff like they do on videos but they never turn out the way I like. I’ll just buy one of those.

Will something like work to strip a painted pipe fence?
