Is rusting a problem with Sodablast as it is with sand blasting?
A major advantage of Sodablast is the fact sodium bicarbonate does not break the surface tension of metals, thus the problem of flash rusting is eliminated. Bicarbonate of soda is also a rust inhibitor which leaves a protective coating on the surface being blasted. This allows for time to pass before the surface has to be repainted. This is unlike a sand blasted surface that must be repainted immediately.
