I just borrowed a soda blast machine from our local supplier (he's hoping I will buy it) and it just might do the job for me. I am looking for a way to clean hard water deposits from brick, vinyl and steel sided buildings, and I have a historic building in town here that needs a serious face washing...
Anyway, brought this unit home and played with it a bit tonight, and I'm not really impressed. I tried washing some of the water spots off the windows in my garage. Now, granted, they've been there for 20 years, some of them, but it didn't make a dent. When I turned the soda WAY up, it did remove some of the dinginess from the aluminum front on my horse trailer, but...
Sharing any experiences with a soda blaster would be appreciated- I have the whole side of this old building available to practice on, so I can try out just about anything anyone suggests, so long as it doesn't involve buying anything. I would like to get the most out of it so I can make an informed decision about whether I should buy it, or maybe even make one of my own. Am I expecting too much of it?
