Soda Blasting advice

    Dear folks,

    I am hoping to strip an old fibre glass boat as part of a restoration project. I was wondering if any of you classic car folk have any experience of using soda blasting? I am
    happy to rent a compressor.

    What other kit would I need?
    Do I need to buy a hopper or some device that takes the baking soda?
    Then what figures should I be aiming towards in terms of PSI and CFM?
    Where would I get decent quantities of baking soda?

    Many thanks
    (apologies for posting a boat question in the classic car section but many people tell me this is the best place)

    Thanks rodneys, I'll bear that in mind. For now I am making great progress with sanding and have a neighbour who can soda blast it if I decide to go that route.

    I asked this question on here maybe 2+ weeks ago. I have since been introduced to a neighbour who does sand blasting. So sorry to have annoyed you!
