Use a properly fitted dust mask or respirator, safety glass or safety shield. Wear heavy gloves, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt to protect any exposed skin. Use our Safety Kit (50097) for complete protection. To check that the deadman valve is operating properly, depress the valve lever and release, assuring it closes over the nozzle under its own spring pressure. If it doesn't, do not use the deadman valve until the spring or obstruction is repaired.

This is the best blasting media yetWe bought about ten bags of this stuff to clean asphalt tanks that where over filled. I have used all kinds of media trying to figure what works best and let me tell you this is a good product.

Can i use this in a tumbler machine for carburetors
Asked by: 2222
This is not designed for use in our tumbler options. The tumblers we sell are designed to be used with the brown or green pyramid media and corn cob dri-shine polish only.

will it work with pressure washer?
Asked by: phil66
It will not. This is mostly made up of soda which can not be used in conjunction to our Liquid Blaster Pressure Washer attachment.

Will glass bead remove powder coating with your damaging the soft metal below? I tried soda ash but it did not work very well. Could you recommend a media to use?
Asked by: Craig Rudd
Thanks Sean, I just tried paint stripper and it worked like a charm. I am ready to re-powder coat the the piece. I was told a paint stripper would not work but learned it works great. Thank you very much!

What should be used on original paint and minor surface rust
Asked by: George 53
Anytime you have rust present, soda is not the best option- it won't be effective enough. Aluminum oxide and ground glass will be your most efficient medias for this scenario.

Can this be used with the dustless blaster unit #20668?
Asked by: freec78
Soda Media is not recommended. The more suitable media would be Glass Bead, or Ground Glass.

Can I use this stuff under a car to remove rust. Will it blow a hole in rubber and plastic hoses?
Asked by: BOBL273
This product can certainly be used under a car. We would recommend staying away from sensitive rubber and plastic hoses as much as possible.
