Low-buck soda blasting
Not sure if this is a repost, I searched for 'soda' and didn't find anything so I hope this is new. If not, sorry.
Low buck soda blasting.. I have a bunch of aluminum stuff I need to clean up, both on my VWs as well as the motorcycles. I'm going to give it a shot.

It is a repost, but that doesn't matter this is the STF. Soda will make the most any part look new unless it is pitted.
Hot, humid air is less dense than cooler, drier air. This can allow a golf ball to fly through the air with greater ease, as there won't be as much resistance on the ball.

I did that Nate inspired trick to clean water damage of an old weber idf, worked great on the rust and stains.
Yeah some may call it overkill, but you can't have too much overkill.

No worries, the color contrast could be better. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna go change that!

Re: Low-buck soda blasting
I have a cheap harbour freight 9oz. blaster, I'm going to try it with baking soda & see if it works. Has anyone else tried it with one of these blasters? I have a couple of carbs that need a good cleaning. I hope it works!

Re: Low-buck soda blasting
Glad to see the blaster is helpful. I've cleaned dozens of carbs with very good results. The Porsche carbs on the page are typical of the results. Arm & Hammer baking soda seems to work best; I don't exactly know why, but @ approx $1 a pound who cares
