[Spridgets] soda blasting

[Linda Grunthaner]

List,
Can soda blasting be applied with a small hand held sand blaster gun the
kind with the small container attached? Also as I understand it once you
soda blast you will need to hose off the metal with plain water, is that
correct? After this is done can I apply an enamel paint for the frame of an
auto? I won't be doing this to my Sprite (but I may if I like the effect I
may in the future) but to another vehicle that is pretty bad shape and I
wanted to understand if I need to apply any other product to the bare metal
after the soda blasting. Being I have never soda blasted before any tips
will help and I have heard it doesn't hurt the environment and leaves a nice
clean surface.
Thanks Linda
