The only thing I know about Australian plumbing is that the water spins the opposite direction in your toilets than in ours, although I learned this from the "Simpsons". It is a highly regarded source of information in the US but not to scientific ; ).

Hopefully, something like that will only take a few hours at most. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.absoluteblast.com.au" rel="nofollow">http://www.absoluteblast.com.au</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12921074560910247042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625744863620627770.post-35291718039411321192014-08-04T08:03:10.114-07:002014-08-04T08:03:10.114-07:00Thanks for the comments Jessie.

The amount of lawn kill was very surprising to me....it took out everything! I am not sure where I will blast next time, maybe in a cabinet although I hear this does not work well. <br /><br />Randall<br /><br />KeepingTheRockersRollinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955141985298675316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625744863620627770.post-82894757038605244922014-08-04T07:59:29.887-07:002014-08-04T07:59:29.887-07:00Hi Tom & thanks for the comments.

The final clean was done with the soda blasting. If I turned up the pressure soda blasting would start taking away some of the aluminum. I kept the pressure low so it did not change the look of the cases as I wanted them to maintain their original casting glaze. It worked really well for getting off the gunk nothing else would....old gasket material, hard grease, carb varnish, silocone sealer, etc. <br /><br />RandallKeepingTheRockersRollinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955141985298675316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625744863620627770.post-23918163667881328482014-08-04T07:27:48.341-07:002014-08-04T07:27:48.341-07:00My husband also noticed that when he was using sod...My husband also noticed that when he was using soda blasting for automobile restoration in our backyard that it was killing the grass around it. The before and after pictures of your monoblocs are absolutely amazing!

That's so cool. Does it ever take away part of the metal while you are blasting? I just wondered how you got the dirt and grime of without ruining the metal. <a href="http://www.northwestpowdersolutions.com/puget-sound-wa-sand-blasting-process.htm" rel="nofollow"> http://www.northwestpowdersolutions.com</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12187438998630315457noreply@blogger.com
