there just up the road from me at aycliffe ind estate .i rang them for a price it was 25 quid a 25kg bag even worse news is if u want it delivered its about 9 quid postageuse beads and sand its cheaper

It's for blasting aluminium cylinder heads and ali case

Some on Ebay slightly cheaper @ £27 for 25kg delivered. If you want smaller quantities it's always going to cost a lot more per kilo

Thanks Ratty

At those prices I'll still be going to tesco for the 1kg boxes at 89p (last time I looked),

 

[Ratty]

That sounded too good to be true so I had a look, 83p for 200gm which works out at £4.15 per kilo, still a bit cheaper than ebay though if you only need a small amount but Asda is cheaper @ £2.40 per kilo

Someone told me he tried C hinky supermarket soda, it cost a few quid for 5kg.

What pressures are you running? With a blast pot or syphon feed?

i would presume 90psi till it peters out

 

[luke123]

Compressor can build up to 120psi and will be a syphon one.

Its in the washing powder isle in my local.

find the 'naturals' range in the green and white packaging, the range includes 1kg boxes of sodium bicarbonate, as well as soda crystals and lots of other eco friendly cleaners.
