Don't feel like spending $50 for a huge bag to keep steping around forever, just need a little bit.
Any ideas?
Does Washing soda work or anything like that?

Washing soda works great,grittier than the stuff used for baking.Just be sure to sieve it before use. -
Ping Rob (azr) I believe he's used washing and baking soda on his restorations, think he recommends Arm & Hammer....It's smoke that make electronic components work.
Every time I've let the smoke out by mistake, they never work again.

I'm thinking maybe the actual blasting media might be coarser, or harder or something? I used washing soda once, it worked but not real well. Maybe the blasting stuff is better.Comment
