So it's Time to Tidy Things up....

[uk kev]

The road grime has got to the carbs, but you really don't want to strip them all down, and have the aqua blasted.... So what to do....

No Problem

Just build yourself a Soda Blaster....

[Davy Doherty]

Brillant and cheap as chips i'm off to buy a compressor now!!

[bakey]

fantastic!!

anybody every tried the old tomato ketchup technique? does it actually work

[mick znone]

bakey, i believe brown sauce is a good metal cleaner, ive never heard of the tomato sauce method though???? and im being honest here.

[Steve Cooke]

It works by venturi action, so to save all the messing around just get a 'Schultz' gun, one of those underbody sprayguns that screw directly to the can of underbody they work a treat and are capable of blasting all types of different materials.

WD40 removes the brown petrol smeg and the oil based crud from most bits, will try the blaster i wonder if it will work with sand.

I got one of these and it works a treat, but you do need a powerful compressor.

I guess you could fill it with the Baking Soda ? When I use sand I get the Kiln Dried paving sand at about £5 for 20KG.

[BShaw]

very interesting... I have a near endless supply of that sand... shame your so far away.... when you say a powerfull compressor, and they say 3hp I don't suppose my 25ltr clarke jobbie would be up to it... what about in short bursts... I have a frame to do ?

Carefull with sand lads illegal in blasting trade i am told,silicosis risk!!!!!!! if using make sure you use good mask!!!!!! i have one of these cheap ebay units trying out at momeny i have doubled my compressors up to give about 120 psi you are limited by your receiver tank size to how long you can blast though......i have made a blast cabinet up from a council re-cycle box with a couple of holes for your hands to go in and a simple wood frame with a perspex window on top works fine...

[Steve Cooke]

The underbody gun will spray sand I also used a dry sand (block paving) but I put it through a sieve first to get rid of the bigger bits of shell and the like, as I haven't got a cabinet I just stick on goggles and a mask and blast it out the back, it's a bit wasteful on the sand and you get covered in it, but it'll take just about anything off leaving clean bare metal.

Ive got one off those air guns in the cab of my wagon for blowing dust out.
I might take me carbs to work and try it out there, i think 480bhp and 13,000cc of volvo diesel engine with a air compressor bolted on the end should be ok,

Being a tight arse :-
