soda blasting Vid
« on: July 19, 2014, 03:49:37 pm »
Look at this video of soda blasting there is a comment under it about just making the stone look white must admit that is what it looks like - is this a problem with soda blasting making sandstone go white?

I know I don't have a vast wealth of experience but that looked painfully slow and a pretty $h!t€ finish....

It could be a "listed" wonky path....in which case yes .
Although to be fair that does just look like a standard  wonky path ;D ;D ;D

That vid is a classic example of too small a compressor with the metering valve turned right down. He has no dust suppression and you would'nt really bother with soda on a job like that unless some idiot is footing the bill.

Water, High Alkaline, Honing Powder, Mono Rotary and a Wet Vac

I would be in the pub with it done while he was on his 20th slab ;D
