So What is Soda Blasting?

If you’re into gun maintenance, you know how crucial it is to keep your firearms in top condition. You can make sure that your gun stays in tip top shape with the help of soda blasting, and it’s quite the game-changer.

In a recent video, we gave our followers a behind-the-scenes look at how Vapor Honing Technologies is revolutionizing gun cleaning with their Micro Hone machine. This machine, which is fully pneumatic, uses a process called vapor honing—think soda blasting but with the inclusion of water into the cleaning process. It’s an incredibly effective way to clean gun parts, especially when you want to remove stubborn residue without damaging the metal.

What exactly makes it stand out? The soda used in this process is gentle on your firearm but tough on grime. It gets into every crevice, leaving your parts spotless and ready for action. One of the biggest advantages of using soda for cleaning is that it dissolves completely during the process. This means that unlike some abrasive media, soda won’t get stuck in the nooks and crannies of your firearm parts. Once the cleaning is done, there’s no leftover residue—your gun parts come out spotless and ready to use without any risk of buildup or clogging sensitive areas.

Additionally, soda blasting is efficient, eco-friendly, and doesn’t rely on harsh chemicals, making it a great option for anyone who wants a reliable, gentle, and thorough way to clean their guns. If you’re looking to upgrade your gun maintenance routine, soda blasting might just be the solution you’ve been waiting for. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a pro, this technique ensures your firearms stay in perfect working order for years to come.
