FAQs
What type of media should I use?
This tool is designed specifically for sodium bicarbonate (soda) blasting media.
Can this blaster remove heavy rust?
It is intended for delicate cleaning. While it can remove light oxidation, it is not a heavy-duty sandblaster meant for thick, rusted metal.
Is an air compressor included?
No, the compressor must be purchased separately.
How do I prevent the nozzle from clogging?
Always use dry media and keep the hopper lid tightly closed to prevent humidity from entering the system.
Can I replace the nozzle if it wears out?
Yes, the 5mm steel nozzle is a replaceable component.
Is this safe to use on glass?
Yes, soda blasting is generally safe for glass, but always test a small, inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Media not flowing through the nozzle
Check for moisture in the air line or clumped media in the hopper and ensure the nozzle is free from blockages.
Low blasting pressure
Verify that your air compressor is delivering the correct PSI and check all hose connections for potential air leaks.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, securely attach the soda blaster to your pneumatic air line. Ensure the media hopper is filled with high-quality sodium bicarbonate media, as damp or low-grade media can cause clogging. After each use, it is critical to empty any remaining media from the hopper and trigger the air flow to clear the nozzle of dust and residue. Regular inspection of the 5mm steel nozzle is advised; if you notice a drop in performance, check for signs of wear or obstructions. Store the tool in a dry, low-humidity environment to prevent the blast media from clumping inside the canister.
