Re: sodablasting

I've never tried it personally, but I hear it is a great method, leaves the surface very smooth. I would imagine you'd have to have it done professionially, I'm sure the equipment purchase would be cost prohibitive unless you were going to start a business.

Re: sodablasting

Soda blasting is extremely neat stuff. never done it personally. I did some research for a car restoration project. It is not hard on metal like sandblasting. They also use for cleaning graffitti of walls, cleaning fire/smoke soot covered framing whether wood or metal. They can use it to clean ceramic tile and grout lines without affecting grout.<br /><br />Some fire smoke restoration companies have the equipment or check through automotive restoration body shops.<br /><br />It is definitely cost prohobitive. It takes a large compressor that puts out a ton of CFM compared to even large home/garage compressors.<br /><br />I have heard in some areas,they rentthe equipment.<br /><br />Best of all, it is biodegradable. sweep up large debris, wash away remants. Environmental friendly.<br /><br />Just my two bits.
