Topic: soda/sand blasting at home

[dave500]

heres how i soda blast carbs,i made this from a plastic jar,the photo speaks for itself,it holds half a kilo of bi-carbsoda,it takes me one and a half kilos to do all four carbs inside and out(clean them as best you can first),the gun is a cheap one that has a few different nossles etc,,for sand blasting i use damp silica washed sand and turn the outlet upside down and use a funnel,this works better for me than the supplied steel tube about 18 inches long and the rubber hose affair that you are supposed to dump into a big pail of sand,i only sand blast small parts with it as big as fork legs.

I cleaned my nasty carbs with my Harbor Freight soda blaster. Just a few minutes on the float bowls and all the removable brass, and the outsides of the carbs .Rinse off with water, good to go.

i just used a 99 dollar one,i thrash it and it just keeps going,itll maintain 70 psi running the soda/sand blaster.

Dave, I have a compressor that's 1 hp, 4 gallon, 125 psi max, 2.2 scfm at 90 psi and 3.5 at 40 psi.  Do you think it would work for this?

[dave500]

try it out and see,itll be running non stop though.

[dave500]

Growing cacti?

[Andy K]

there wasn't growing anything at that time. maybe next summer.

I put plastic curtain to cover the ground that there could grow some vegetables.Someday.. It was pretty good idea because I  only collect those soda from ground and use again. recycling
