Thanks. I'll have to find some. The place I bought the blaster didn't have ay. Cliff.

I use plain old baking soda in my cheap-o HF cabinet.
It's far from perfect but it works well for cleaning carbs.
It cleans up smaller zinc plated parts pretty good too.
It helps that I have an 80 gallon compressor and I run about ~15cfm@90psi.

After reading through this thread I thought I better try this. Our local Princess Auto has this little blaster
https://www.princessauto.com/en/1-litre-siphon-feed-abrasive-blasting-gun/product/PA0008574170 It seems to work well even with old clumpy baking soda. After a few minutes work a carb looked pretty good, almost too good. Cliff.



Cliff….. did you just load that container up and blow it outside? I’m going to get one!
