wet soda blasting using pressure washer attachement

[toplessHO]

Anyone used one of these with good luck?
I know they are messy but not an issue
need to do some odd shapes aluminum and some plastic auto bumper covers.

I've never seen or even heard of one of these attachments. Do you have a picture or model # of one in particular? Found a video here what may be of some help, tho that guy is using regular sand instead of baking soda. Using regular sand when (dry) bead blasting is usually a big no-no, but perhaps it's less of an issue when it's watered down.

I was a little surprised to see the venturi on that contraption able to **** up dry media like that, but it did appear to work. As expected, the spray nozzle didn't seem to last all that long for the guy, but that might be less of an issue if you're using soda.

so no one here has used a soda blaster attachment on a pressure washer?
Maybe its time for a review

Please do. I researched and looked at some dry soda blasting stuff years ago when it was fairly new. I was intrigued by it but have never really heard of wet application.

Wouldn't the soda dissolve into the water thereby negating any/most of the abrasive action?

I used one that was a wet sand blaster on an electric pressure washer. There wasn't enough pressure from the washer to be effective so the end result was more like if you wet sanded to get ready for paint.

 

[toplessHO]

soda is injected right at the nozzle
so the pressurized water carries it.
hasnt got time to mix and dissolve

 

[txvwnut]

Is the soda pressurized and pushed into the water stream or is it sucked into the stream by the passing water.

venturi effect

Sold several Wadu soda blasters that are used with pressure washers. Work ok depending on what you are blasting. For graffiti they work well with minimal impact on substrate. Can be a pain if soda gets damp as it won't flow. There is a learning curve for sure

 

[fatfillup]

Oh, volume of water is far more important than pressure in making the venturi **** the media. In what i have sold, 3 gpm minimum with more being better

tell me more FFU
