soda blasting Options

[sk8kat1]

soda blasting , has anyone had this done to strip thier cars down to metal -- the idea is that it doesn't heat up the netal and possibly distort it .. also doesn't blast right through bondo so it can be dealt with on a area by area basis .

any thoughts , expirances and what did it cost you ?

[bondo]

I plan to do it.. the place I talked to said bondo goes pretty fast. Seam sealer does not, so any you want removed needs to be done before they get it. Same with tar undercoating. He said it's springy and slows them down alot. It's hourly, so the longer it takes them, the more it costs.

I am in the process of finishing body work, which includes removing the water trapping foam in the corners of the rear fenders. It's covered with seam sealer, so I doubt it would be touched by the soda blasting. If going to the trouble of soda blasting, I'd suggest losing that foam.
