    Anyone know of anywhere doing soda/walnut blasting around Galway?

    I know that most headstone places can do sandblasting but that can be damaging to the underlying metal if not done right.

    Have 1 nose panel and 4 callipers to be blasted as hand cleaning/stripping them is seriously slow!


    Currently wish I'd picked up the air compressor in Aldi the last time it was available, I'm sure it would have been powerful enough to do small scale blasting :(

    Picked up a air compressor from lidl this week, so going to do it myself. Ironically enough, a few days after buying the compressor I spotted a place in Limerick that does soda blasting.

    Now on to the next part, anyone know of soda/walnut/sand blasting media suppliers around Galway?
    I've located one so far, Applied in Kinnitty.
    Caulfields also supply some blasting media, but the selection viewable on their website suggests that it's pretty limited.

    None of the DIY places like McDonagh's, Woodies etc appear to stock this (not that I expect them to).

    Also don't really have access to any wholesale food suppliers for the bicarbonate of soda, as they all require that you have a special card to buy from them.

    Suggestions? Anywhere else that I'm overlooking?
