Very cheap Soda blasting system

[Vern]

I've got a great big blast cabinet that I'm in the process of getting going,and thinking of using soda in it.

Can soda be recycled,or is it spent when it's been through the system once? It could prove to be expensive if it's one use only.

Any ideas

I tend to use glass bead, in my cabinet, but soda may be usefull at times, so I am interested too

I was thinking of either glass or aluminium oxide for day to day stuff,but I'm pretty impressed with some of the results I've seen with soda.The only things I've seen all seem to be constant loss systems,if that's the right term for it

I have both alluminium oxide and glass, but find that I just generally use glass, its slower, but you can use it on alloy, soda would be great for parts where you would'nt want any residue left
