I'd like to experiment with using soda to clean carbs and delicate aluminum parts.

Can anyone share their experience with using soda and advise where to buy the stuff in bulk.

Thanks! smile

They do a lot of soda blasting here at the depot I work at. It doesn't chew up the metal as bad as grit or glass bead. Should be able to get it in good sized bags at a pool supply place although you may be able to find it cheaper someplace else. I have seen it in 3 or 5 lb. boxes at Sams.

Thanks Bruce, that is the type of tip I was hoping for. I would never have thought about investigating a pool supply vendor.
