Don't you guys read the stuff that I linked to ? You don't need a blasting cabinet when using the soda blasting solution....just eye and a good respirator. There is no way on earth that I can "house" a blasting cabinet..

The reason why you don't need a cabinet is because you don't recycle the sand and the soda dissolves in water so there's no problem if it's "all over the place". Of course it's not a good idea to do it in your home or game room :)

so anyone tried this solution ? to see if i need to invest in a compressor ;)

the tutorial used a 5HP compressor, but they seems really expensive. wondering the result with a 3 or 4hp one..

Finally got 2 packs of backing soda, all the better because they sell the 0,5 LB (454 Gr.) only here (on the pictures they use a 1 LB package).

This stuff is only available at what we call "toko's and warung's" here, mostly Indonesian/Surinam shops for food. I called the one I remembered from my youth and they said, sure we got it. Drove up there today and they had like packets of 50 gr. each....sigh.....and not the Arm & Hammer brand either.

So I googled some others and the next one I found and called I was more lucky, he had the stuff that I described. Cost €1,95 per pack.

They're cheaper here, but the shipping costs kill the fun until I know if it actually works:

Well........tried it and it kinda worked.....but I think my compressor is not powerful enough.
And the soda comes in "chunks" it's not flowing evenly.

I have no more time to experiment though, need to wrap some cabs......

Now, TOTALLY incidently I have to go to a metal company for my work tomorrow......I just MIGHT put some coindoors in the back of my car and ask a nice question there  ;D ;D ;D

in order to derust why don't you use electrolysis method.

I use chemical (NaOH) to remove paint, then electrolysis to remove rust
