Soda Blasting Test with REGULAR Baking Soda - Harbor Freight Gravity Feed Hand Held Blaster 

My newest soda blasting video here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iDwnizI61xs.html

came across someone talking about using bulk baking soda blasting on their farm and found your video. very detailed. I learned something new. Thank you for posting

I did that on an old honda CB650c engine many years ago. It worked great. I also used it to clean the carbs.

I must say if I didn't see this I would never have believed it would work so well

I always remove tires so I can blast then paint the inside of the rims and replace the valve stems. Beads seat better and any corrosion from condensation is removed.

Now alls we need now is the self rising flower 😅🤣 nice excellent thank you for sharing

I bought a camping tent for my work shop to do my sand & soda blasting in for my small projects 😁 awesome clean up a breeze vacuum .😁🎪 Recycle put back in to my Hopper.👍 happy blasting 😂 vacuum

WOW I am Impressed thanks for the video !

Thank you for the information, I just bought a new compressor, my grandson got my old one (2 months old) I have both the blasting gun and the 50 pound sand blaster set up. I want to sand blast horse shoes so I can weld gun racks, mail box stands and crosses for vines in the garden. I also want to try blasting glass, and wood just to experiment.

Beats the hell out of a wire wheel on a grinder

great video, thank you. I will give it a try, and I have an idea that I can use old coffee grounds if I dry them out.

Will definitely try this. Got a sand gun and was looking for soda blasting gun, but then saw that blasting media could cost 50USD or more with delivery to East Europe, so will try this with the sand gun I already have. Restoring an old bike, so wanna clean some aluminium parts, hopefully it will do the job. Thanks!

Nicely done? I was wondering if regular baking soda would work in one of these types of blaster, and now I know. Thanks for posting.

I’m thinking fine masons sand just shoot through that also… nice to know that something at HF actually works without modifying

Wow I’m impressed

Would have loved to see a comparison!

What a great idea !

I think with a muriatic acid wash then wash it off, then a day or so later after letting it totally dry out in hot weather well use some mild torch heat on the metal before primer would work. I use about the same process after using coal media. That gets tricky with them Harbor Freight blasters even the old Ames blasters have trouble with certain medias. I have 2 of em one works when it works the others been good to me for years and they are nearly Identical. I actually bought a NEOGEN ball valve for the Harbor Freight its what makes the Ames blaster work so good. I just ain't put that on yet. I am itching to try it soon as the weather warms up. An acid wash can also soften hard brittle paint to the point is the soda might just be enough if ya use acid is my point. Using heat as ya primer also makes a huge diff in how the new paint holds up even if ya use cheap paint it lasts a while. I have rims I did like 8 years ago and they still ain't bad not at all.

The nice thing about this is once it rains, most of this will dissolve, and I don't think it's that harsh on the environment. If anything it should help balance the ph

Thank you. Great job. And i subscribed

I was literally thinking of this the other day then I seen your video and I happen to have the HF gravity fed blaster haha it's like the internet read my mind which is kind of scary

Hi I want to sandblast the furniture but dont know what all to buy. Can you please list down all the parts/equipments I need to buy

Would like to see a comparison between that method and power wash with plain water. Just curious.........

Arm and Hammer is finer soda. Aldi or other cheap soda is courser and better for abrasion. I'm building a cardboard box to work in to catch/reuse the soda (like a blast cabinet). Open on one side only and taped on the inside so no cracks to catch soda in.

You said that you have used sand in this product. I noticed on mine that it says not to use sand. Did you have any I'll effects?

Quite impressive, I recently used glass beads in a similar blaster to do similar wheels and from your video it appears the soda does a better job. Probably dont need to wear a Tyvek suit or full helmet either.

Will try on an old singer cast treadle stand.....

Great work, can I ask how much baking soda you used for the wheels? Thank you!

Is anyone able to confirm what type of finish you get on stainless steel? Have vintage watch cases and straps that have a satin brushed surface (with no brush direction/grain). With older watches, this finished becomes polished with wear. Looking to recreate the satin effect. Thanks.

I want to clean things this way!!! I still don't know what I would be cleaning though 😛

What’s the benefit of baking soda? Not as toxic?

Do you have an idea a how much cleaning you were able to get from a box of the soda? Was it on wheel, two wheels, etc? Not including the worst case rusted wheel. Thank you.

What is min air spec for this gun?

I tried finding it on the website but I couldnt find it

I have tis one or looks like it do you need 500000lbs of pressure to work.? I can't get it to do anything

Love it good video

I tried this you can beath around the stuff

Great review. Have you done this with sand?

What size is your compressor? Would I get away with a 10gal compressor or should I get one of those portable 11 gal tanks to 21 gal at that point?

Wonder how much soda you used for what you did in the video? I bought that gun and it uses a TON of soda. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

What pressure are you using?

Would this remove gel stain from douglas fir logs?

Could you do this on a piece of plastic possibly?

Great idea and I'll probably try it! But the gun says. "Do not exceed 90 lbs". Which is a little lower than 140.

Would be very interesting to see if intake valves could be cleaned using baking soda instead of walnut shell, if so the cost of valve cleaning just halved.

MAX AIR=90 - Lonsome=compresser set to 150

Salve cosa usa come sabbia o abrasivo

How many boxes of soda did you go through? Like one box/wheel, or 4 wheels/box? Just wondering…

What are the specs of the air compressor that you used for this job?

Nice, would this work on furniture?

Hi, Is baking soda abrasive enough to remove the paint off of my bike and up(tank, side shields, suspension casings and mud guard) ? If not, I would like to know a cheap alternative media as cheap as baking soda that can do the job I am hoping to accomplish. Thanks

Too small size media soda, use medium or xl soda from HF , comes in 50 lbs bags. Food baking soda good for very final polishing.

Need to turn your media flow down a little bit you'll get better results

I am impressed !!!!!!! An cheap from the dollar store How many boxes per wheel great video

Maybe I missed it in the video, what psi is this at?

Did you use a dust mask or respirator? Seems like it was not throwing big clouds of soda up. Thanks for showing this as I was just looking at that on HF before searching out videos to see how effective it was.

sugar/salt would probably work really well. guess you wouldn't want sugar all over the place though so salt?

Wow, works great! Did you need to modify the gun or hopper at all?

Hi O. Wild, I watch with interest you cleaning of the tyre wheels. Is it you are doing the job with a 30 gallons, 155psi compressor? Can I know are you using the compressor that runs on a 3 phase or Single phase voltage? Thanks..

The salt is what made it work ,not a good idea !😮

That baking soda looks as if it does better than sand

65-85psi to clean and preserve factory coatings generally... works great on removing rattle can paint jobs on firearms as well

I gotta try that on the cat... I mean the cats litter pan....

I really like to support "How-To" video makers, but I'd highly recommend learning some editing basics to clean up the videos. Gave you a "like" for now.

Turn yer pressure down and save the paint

I'm no tree hugger, but what about the 4 boxes of baking soda in your yard? Does it blow away with the wind or does it pile up and cause a big mess?

How often did you have to refill the hopper?

Hello, good video.. how many times did you need to refill the sandblaster per tire side?

What is your air pressure ar?

Hope the cops don’t start asking questions

You should be wearing a dual filter lead asbestos respirator while doing this, I hope you were between takes. Good demonstration thanks!

Yeah, I always soda blast wearing safety glasses, "wearing nothing at else," sometimes a hat. sorry couldn't shut up...

With the harbor freight blaster it's supposed to be refrigerated. Clean afterwards with vinegar.

👍👍👍🌍🌍🌍👍👍🍀🍀🇵🇱🇵🇱

I can't believe you never told us how much soda was used? Just kept saying a lot??

The only difference between the baking soda sold in the store for food and the harbor freight baking soda is the food grade is certified for food. Would I cook with the harbor freight soda? No. Could I? Yes.

wait what ? U tube threw this video up immediately after watching an actually useful video on soda blasting aluminum heads heads because sand isnt an option and left over glass beads if not removed will wipe out the engine you install it on. You are blasting a STEEL wheel correct ? unless you got a lot of FREE soda lying around and simply to lazy to get some sand and maybe your are using a very very very large commercial sand blaster ? why on earth would you use soda ? That is sorta like sanding down a car to prep for painting but instead of using 400 grit wet sanding papaer you decided to use bounty kitchen towels instead ? not saying it will not work but dont you value your time ? Soda is something you want to use when cleaning your wife's copper pans and pots because it will not scratch or harm anything. That is a road wheel made out of steel sand or glass beads is what is best and if powder coated aluminum oxide media .

A decent pressure washer would have done a better job There was no need to blast the painted rim This is a very poor plan as the operater had mentioned his plan earlier !

Downvoted for asking me to subscribe before the content even started. It's like a waiter asking for a tip before bringing the food. Then I immediately clicked off the video without watching it.

shit that aint no rust lol
