Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between soda blasting and sandblasting?
A: Soda blasting uses baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) as the media, which is much softer than sand or aluminum oxide. This makes soda blasting ideal for cleaning delicate surfaces — fiberglass, chrome, aluminum, and thin sheet metal — without etching, warping, or removing base material. Traditional sandblasting is more aggressive for heavy rust and scale removal.
Q: Can I use regular baking soda from the store?
A: While technically possible, commercial blasting-grade soda is recommended. Blasting soda has a consistent, larger particle size optimized for air tool performance. Grocery-store baking soda is too fine and can clog the nozzle. Blasting soda is available at most auto parts and industrial supply stores.
Q: Is soda blasting safe for automotive paint removal?
A: Yes, soda blasting is one of the safest methods for removing paint from vehicles. It strips paint and clear coat without damaging the underlying metal, fiberglass, or body filler. It is also non-sparking and non-toxic, making it safe for use around fuel systems and in enclosed spaces with proper ventilation.
