soda blasting
Just had my Albatross soda blasted by a firm called Gentle Touch Blast Cleaning. Result fantastic job, saved weeks of work removing 40 years of old paint. No it did not knock any rivets out! and it is safe enough to use on a coke tin Piermaster

Re: soda blasting
I have done carbs & bits with it here (not proffesionally & I ended up looking like an extra from the snowman 
) & I agree it works great & the residue dissolves in water & is harmless. The way forward I think.

Re: soda blasting
I'd like to try it on my Slinky, rather than nitromors / a winter with a scalpel.
Fasten bra straps and remove dentures...

Re: soda blasting
The cost was £300 which was 5 hours of blasting. They used 5 bags of soda and eventually ran out of diesel for the compresser!
