I am so happy I saw this video! I thought i would need a heavier blaster. Looks like a small cabinet would take care of the dust. You solved my problem with refinishing fine carved wood boxes which gum up with chemical residue. I am so glad I saw this. Great demo!!!! I would suggest you scrub down wood with some acetone after blasting. Use steel wood, nitrile gloves, eye protection and work outdoors. Scrub, wipe with paper towels. The chemical gummy residue lifts off the wood, and its ready for sanding and staining. I have been refinishing antiques for years. Here are some tips: 1. Use a Dremel with abrasive wheels to sand down carvings. 2. Oil with Boiled Linseed Oil on darker woods as no staining is needed. Brings out the golden glow of the wood. Wipe off excess. Let dry 1-2 days. At this point, glue back any loose details with Tite Bond Wood Glue II. Glue will leave marks on wood, so do it after oiling not before. Oil must be dry for glue to work. 3. Dilute oil based clear satin Polyurethane with mineral spirits 50% and brush on. Wipe off excess. Dry. Repeat. Use air compressor to blow out any lumps of finish inside the carvings so you don't get drips. Now it can last forever. FYI - Baking soda does not damage wood or leave pit marks. It is safe for environment. It is not safe to inhale, so work outdoors AND always wear a mask + goggles. It is safe on skin.

Hey there, this is amazing! Me and my partner are looking at doing this for a few wooden beams in our house, I was wondering what spec compressor you were using? And how much soda you needed to do these pieces? Our beams are about 3 metres long and 10-20cm diameter each, but only about half of it shows inside the house.

If I remember right, I went through one bag of the soda. I did not try and reuse it though- which would have saved me from using so much. I used my 15 gallon dewalt compressor. It kept up, but was running the entire time.

Do you have to wash the wood afterwards? I called a company and they said that any remaining soda with moisture can cause it to turn green. I have a few old windows that are painted and I read the soda will not damage the original glass. Stripping takes forever is a mess and lot of sanding. Thanks Pat

You can scrub it with acetone and steel wool and gloves to remove last residue of finish. If you use an air compressor to dust off piece after blasting, it is fine.

Portable sodablast need to be connect to the air compressor? I would like to sandblast metal like gates,spiral staircase,grating etc but i have only the washer pressure and lance sandblast so i was thinking about a soda hydroblast. Since i would to hydroblast also an external floor in porous marble with biological encrustations due to the stagnation of leaves and fruits and remove the glue that has been allowed to harden by mistake.

I didnt personally re-use mine, but if i did, just a finer mesh strainer from the kitchen would be fine. I think you will just have to figure out the best setting for you after adjusting the air. It just takes a little playing around with it - its pretty basic.

as long as you kept it moving it didnt leave any marks in the wood. This was also on oak though so it was pretty hard wood. If you used it on a softer wood, it might leave ridges. Ours was so smooth, it didnt need any sanding after
