INTRODUCTION

Soda blasting accessory for use in conjunction with Model No’s SB997 and SB998 Shot Blasters. Quick and simple to fit and use. Soda blasting is especially suitable in the classic car market as soda will not etch glass and will not warp or remove metalwork. The surface will be left smooth. Soda also leaves a rust inhibitor behind for up to six weeks.
