Wood chisel? Nice 😁😁😁

Looks brutal, but works a treat, I find it more controllable than a razor blade that I see frequently used. I also have a copper scraper you might see me use in some of the other videos.

Great video. I like the soda blaster!! Very cool to see your progress. I showed my CB some love and replaced the leaking fuel bowl seals. It’s such a fun bike to ride. Good luck with your project! I always look forward to seeing your videos.

[@SPANNERRASH]

Thanks. I am just getting to some exciting work with the bike. The next few videos should see the engine built up, barring anything unexpected. I love the old SOHC's I have had a couple before.

@@SPANNERRASH I do love the older CB’s. The one I have is a 98 Nighthawk I made into a cafe racer.

@@mulliedog1 Cool, Some great bikes were made in the ninties.

[@airman9820]

Well done. Think you found the proper solution by just getting a new head.

[@SPANNERRASH]

It took a while, and there are some other issues caused by getting different barrels, but that is for a future video ;)

Interesting vid, didnt know you could still get a paint strpper that actually works, what brand was it, and where did you get please..

[@SPANNERRASH]

I know what you mean about paint stripper, and this did surprise me. Sorry it took a while to reply, I wanted to check my memory, and you know how long that can take! It is actually Dial Paint and Varnish stripper from B&Q in the UK. I got a 2.5ltr container about 18months ago. It is quite cheap, and surprisingly good.

@@SPANNERRASH Thanks for the reply, I'm in the market for some paint stripper, and will be giving that go..

How big of a mess is the soda blaster on the side of the house ? I was thinking of getting one without a cabinet (like you)

[@SPANNERRASH]

When you first do it, there is a some white powder on the brickwork and flowers. But most of it sweeps up and with a little wind and rain and it has all gone. It doesn't seem to cause any issues to plants either.

@@SPANNERRASH thanks man! I will give it a shot. I appreciate your content! Love from Arizona, USA.

@@SPANNERRASH It will kill grass (as me how i know) use a old 45 gall oil drum to soda blast in. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJi6dKqKordgeKc

[@SPANNERRASH]

It is a really useful technique to have in your tool box! Thanks for the appreciation.

[@marcellvisball]

Use something to contain it like a big trash can but it does kill the grass

My cb750k2 has suffered some alloy oxidisation on barrels and engine casings and on the nice shiny cam cover, do you think one of the £20 soda/sand blasters off amazon on a 90psi compressor would clean them all up ? thanks,.(loving the boy george esq style backing music)

[@SPANNERRASH]

I am sure that as long as you use soda and not the aluminium oxide that the blasters frequently come with you should get a good result. You will still need to polish to get back to shiny though! Good luck.

[@keithmon1234]

Hi what kind of compressor are you using and what psi….thanks

[@SPANNERRASH]

My big compressor was away, so I was using a little Wolf 6l one at 8 bar. You need to pause to let the tank refill quite a bit, but if you are only doing a small job it isn't too bad. Usualy we have a 150l compressor running at 10 bar, and I don't usually turn it down for blasting. I hope that helps.
