1965 Corvette Soda Blasting

1965 Corvette. The purpose of this video is to show the effectiveness of soda blasting on a delicate surface restoration such as fiberglass.

The intent here is not to show how fast a soda blaster can strip a coating (although it does) but to show soda blasting as a restoration tool having the ability to not just strip coatings but that it can also layer and feather the coating removal. And finally, to show completed results which have not damaged the gel coat or aluminum surfaces.

This restoration project is removing several layers of paint. This removal rate will vary from approx. 100 sq. ft. to 250 sq. ft. per hour depending on type of paint and number of layers of coating.

The H258-HO-LP (High Output- Low Pressure) All-Media Soda Blast pot manufactured by Eco-Blast.Com, LLC provides ecological quality stripping action without damaging the surface. Surface damage to the substrate is reduced or eliminated by being able to control the energy applied to blast the surface using ecological blasting soda at blast pressures as low as 30 PSI.

The H250 Series Multi-Media blast equipment can economically shoot all blasting media's including baking soda, corn cob as well as regular sand, crushed glass or slags. The H250 All-Media soda blast pots are used not only for car restoration and graffiti removal but for boat bottom paint removal, oil tanker maintenances, log home restoration, foundation waterproofing preparation, mold removal and virtually any and all types of sand blasting. There are no limits to the versatility and the long life of a true All-Media Soda Blast Pot manufactured from high carbon boiler plate steel, with stainless steel and replaceable tungsten carbide wear components.

Soda-Blast.Com, LLC is not just another reseller, we make what we sell and we use what we make. More Eco-Blast pot options, Eco-Blasting medias, coalescing moisture extractors, dust collectors and blasting accessories can be found at www.Soda-Blast.com. For more information call us at 503-653-5571

Is this safe to use on painted carbon fibre? I have a race car with several layers of paint.

[EcoSodaBlaster]

@FormulaVX The best answer is.. I do not know without touching it. We had a formula package in our shop last year. As you know it is VERY delicate. Yes soda blasting was taking off the paint BUT we were exposing pinholes that the owner was going to have to deal with and that was going to be time intensive. We decided to shoot the entire surface with soda to HAZE the surface breaking the glaze. That gave him good surface to adhere to but minimized the body work. So a Qaulifed Yes.

the glassblasting make the same work? whats the diference between sodablaster, sandblastind and glassblasting.

the glass does not hurts the metal sheet like a sand blast

but whats better to eliminate the rust and dont hurt the metal??

sorry but i dont speak english so well :D

[EcoSodaBlaster]

@MsCODEM Soda blasting is a softer material @2.5 Mohs hardness. Soda blasting will take off a coating and retard the forming of flash rusting. Glass blasting is more aggressive than soda blasting and will take off rust. Glass blasting uses harder material and cuts more sharply @5.5 Mohs hardness. For our purposes, glass blasting uses a #30 screen size or smaller at pressures less than 100 PSI and as low as 25 PSI.

[EcoSodaBlaster]

@MsCODEM We use a lot of #70 and #100 screen size. That means we can really control the cut and the surface erosion better than regular sand blasting type operations. We generally use glass for car stripping now. With our control systems, we do not hurt the sheet metal.

[EcoSodaBlaster]

@MsCODEM Sand blasting is generally done at 100 PSI or over and use material that is a larger grit size and with more hardness up to 9.5 Mohs such as aluminum oxide. You should not attempt to strip a car with sand blasting type of material or blast pressure.

that looks like so much fun.... like a super soaker

[MRBCP1]

You must of been pleased to have done this by dry blasting as opposed to wet. Trying to clean it with presol prior to painting would of been a nightmare.

does this get the car back to bare metal?

[BorgieBabyxx]

This is pretty cool

[superjump01]

@knocklebockle1010 So my 40 pound 90 PSI portable soda blaster is woefully inadequate then?

[senoirjack]

that would be cool to look at if u were high...
