[Fot] [Shop-talk] Blast Media

Bob-

SU's have a sort of "sealed" or "finished" quality to their surface.? Any type of blasting will destroy that original "patina".? If you are rebuilding the carbs for show or originality, that surface will be lost.? If you're just trying to get some ol LBC back on the road, go ahead and blast away.
Laquer thinner and brushes have always been useful here...a little smelly and time consuming, but the look they way they came from the factory when you're done.

Even tho I've been blasted a time or two...still original...

I need to clean up a fuel pump housing and a couple of SU carbs before
rebuilding them. What would be the best blasting media for this type of
metal?

Thanks
