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.

What is soda blasting vs sandblasting?
Soda blasting uses baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) as the media — it is softer than sand and dissolves in water. It cleans surfaces without creating a surface profile or removing base metal. Sandblasting uses harder media (aluminum oxide, etc.) that cuts into the surface. Use soda blasting when you want to clean WITHOUT damaging the underlying material.
Can I use regular baking soda from the grocery store?
Technically yes, but industrial blasting-grade baking soda is preferred — it has a more consistent particle size for even blasting. Grocery store baking soda works in a pinch for small jobs but may clog the nozzle more frequently due to clumping.

Quick Setup Guide
Fill the gravity hopper with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) blasting media — do not use cooking-grade baking soda as the particle size is inconsistent. Connect to your compressor at 90 PSI minimum with 7+ CFM airflow. Adjust the media flow control to achieve a steady, visible media stream. Soda blasting is non-destructive: it removes paint, grease, and carbon deposits without etching the underlying metal surface. For automotive paint stripping, work in overlapping passes at 4-6 inch distance. Clean the surface with water after blasting to remove residual soda.
