Moderator Airhead Posted May 19, 2009 Moderator Share Posted May 19, 2009 Bought myself another exhaust for the DT from ebay, a used 'Big One' brand expansion pipe, sold as light rust on the bend from the cylinder, when it arrived was relieved that this statement was true and light rust it was. So instead of dremelling the whole lot I decided to get one of them sand blaster things that I had recently seen at Aldi, so went out and spent £10.60 of my hard earned on this And stayed late at work to try it out, quite pleased with the result really, just did the front bit, will do the rest with Dremmel and rubbing down. Just thought I would post this because its another option of rust removal for not much expense, obviously though, it needs compressed air supply so dont think you can use a foot pump Its also pretty messy and dusty so might not be ideal for using at home in the kitchen...you have been warned.!!

No its not just in its been and gone but there are still some in the stores...obviously not a good seller. If anyone would want one ring Aldi and they will tell you if there are any near to you, tell them its a 'Spot Blaster' ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbour bought one of them and its usefull for the little stuff like that, he's doing up a CG125 (retirement project he'll never finish) and we found Kiln dried sand worked as well as the aluminium oxide powder. Cheaper too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted May 20, 2009 Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2009 I use a B&Q pressure washer with a sand blast attachment. did my hubs with those. sand gets every where and you need to get it cleaned afterwards. for my engine I'm going to use that baking soda home built sprayer, as the soda disolves in water!!!
