soda blast amount

[blzrgb]

I've read through the post's reguarding soda blasting but no answer to my question. I've got a 20 gallon blaster that's been converted to use soda but how much soda should it take to do one of my 1008's. I don't want to make but one trip to the supply store and really have no idea how much soda to buy. I don't mind buying too much just don't wanta run out. Thanks.

Can you just convert a sand blaster to use as a soda blaster?

Soda won't cut rust.

I had an ACE soda blaster, I had it hooked to a 23cfm compressor, which was WAY too small.

You will also need a good dryer.

I think I used about 300lbs to do the bedsides of a chevy shortbox.

Make sure you do your research, I have read about problems with paint adhesion after soda blasting. I thought it was the way to go, but since have changed my mind.
