Soda blasting

[spacedebris]

Stacy David left the show several years ago. He had a problem with the sponsors/manufacturers crushing the trucks after completion. He now has his own show Gearz on Velocity. Trucks and the rest of the "power block" has gone downhill the last few years. Now they are more like infomercials than the old how to shows. Now they are 5 minutes of how to and 17 minutes of sponsor ads

I have a 100 lb. Eastwood media blaster. Would like to be able to try soda blasting, but the adapter kit is $140! That's more than I paid for the media plaster itself. It is on "sale" right now for $80, but that still seems like an awful lot for what looks like a couple of valves, fittings and hose. Anyone have a good alternative?

well the set up i just returned to Harbor Freight had a valve set up with hose that was only 19.99. it just screwed on to the bottom of blaster directly to tank. may look it up online and see if the fitting would work same on yours.

Yeah, that looks like it would work. Looks just like the Eastwood item and both say that they fit 3/8 or 1/2" outlet. Thanks!
