i have a sand blaster but where does the baking soda come into it?

Well the Baking soda replacers your grit or whatever the abrasive you are using in your sand blaster

Wally,
does the powder damage any of the rubber seals or were yours already removed prior to blasting.

Nice! I wonder if I could use it to clean up the front sprocket area? Between the flung chain goo and the oil leak, it's a major baked on mess, and I'm trying to figure a good way to clean it so I can see which of the 3 seals is leaking.

aahhh ok. come to think of it i have heard of soda blasting. i never imagined it was just using baking soda. did you blast inside as well? or is it too abrasive?

Can you blast the exterior of your engine with baking soda to remove excess grease and grit, etc?

i would think so

Mathil · Posted: November 11, 2009, 5:51 pm Post subject: Re: Baking Soda Cleaning carbs

In reality parts should be AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE before they think of going near a blast cabinet. That means degreased and all the loose stuff brushed off.

You don't want your blast cabinet all gummed up with grease.

If you're doing it outside a cabinet, well, I'm sure giving the parts a good thorough cleaning would do some good. Purple Power and such.

While surfing today I came across a guy who was restoring an old Honda CB360 and he showed how he built his own blasting set up including his own cabinet on the cheap. Pretty cool job and results.

Go to his next page to see the results.

Yesterday, I managed to view that guys link. Very informative. Today, I can't get in. Man I tried to save that yesterday and use it again. Link is un-responsive. To bad.

Yeah, looks like it's gone to I.T. heaven with all the deleted cookies & the "damn why didn't I just press save files"!

Did you check the link Wally put in his initial post?

Yes. That's the one that took me to the site yesterday. Today no can do. I'm speaking of the wagtail home site. That guy had a neat project going with some cool homemade tools, including the look of his carbs after cleaning.

Sent the wagtail site owner a PM through the sohc honda site to see if he has a new url for his pages.
