HELPFUL TIPS
• Soda Blasting leaves behind a thin protective fi lm which, if left untouched, will prevent surface
rust from forming on bare steel surfaces for up 6 weeks or even longer if stored in a dry,
protected area. This fi lm must be removed before painting by wiping down with water dampened
Microfi ber cloths or suitable lint-free towels. It is best to soak the cloth, wring out excess water,
wipe off soda residue, rinse often and immediately follow up with a dry lint-free towel.
• Any soda media left in body seems or crevices can be removed with a small shop vacuum and
a fi ne tipped blow gun. Be sure to wipe surrounding areas as described above.
• To prevent fl ash rust or oxidation from appearing on metal surfaces after water wipe down
but before painting, treat surfaces with Eastwood Fast-Etch™ #19416Z.
