Sand blasting->aggressive and will remove metal. Leaves a relatively rough surface. Will eat out the blasting jet with use which degrades blasting performance.
Glass bead blasting-> doesn't appear to remove any material, leaves the surface relatively smooth, takes forever to remove all signs of corrosion on aluminum, very effective on rust, doesn't wear out the blasting jet.
No experience with soda, but glass bead are so benign (other than the fact they get into everything!) I never thought to use anything less aggressive.

I just got my blast cabinet set up so I can clean parts prior to the Powder coating.
Has anyone used soda as a abrasive cleaning medium?.I like the idea of soda but I don't know how effective it will be.
  I'm also going to convert to LEDs for  lights.Any thoughts.
I think I'm afflicted with a bad case of PCD as are some other Roccers.I think more tools may be the answer.
