Looks like a good alternative clean up process... Jay likes it

[Jack Walter]

A friend of mine has one of those machines. It does really well on some parts - especially aluminum - if they aren't too grubby. If there are heavy grease deposits its best to clean them with more conventional methods and finish them up in the cabinet.

Glass beads on a carburetor? That's a no-no!

[David Jones]

Glass beads on any part that oil gets to and returns to the engine is a no no and that includes cylinder heads. I always used walnut shells for engine parts but now I do not have access to the media blast cabinets at work since retiring I have been using a soda blast kit from Harbor freight.

[Mike Wilson]

Absolutely right, David. How does that soda blaster work on really rusty parts? I know there are different "grit" sizes for the soda.
