[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 3160256, member: 7157"] Based on glowing reviews online, I decided to try soda media in my Skat Blast media blasting cabinet for removing rust and loose paint without harming well-done paint. It does work nicely within limits, and the light coating of soda left behind on the object being stripped helps keep it from rusting till I’m ready to paint. The soda washes off easily too, another bonus. However, and this is a big one... the soda media clumps badly in the hopper in this humidity. It worked great for the first 20 minutes after I loaded the soda media into the hopper, but after that, I had to jostle the cabinet every 3-5 seconds to get the media to loosen up and fall to the bottom of the hopper and the pickup tube. That’s not gonna work. Have any of you folks with blast cabinets ever worked with soda media? If you have and you’ve experienced this clumping, how did you solve it? [/QUOTE]
