your right we soda blast all the time and don't have a problem. Our soda blaster ,works like a sand blaster,with the exception of a vibrator to help it move in the pot and a few other things .We have a water hookup that helps keep it cool when stripping paint,as long as you clean it and prime soon after your done. And water doesn't conduct electricity without minerals such as salt .In fact the detergent mentioned is used in removing rust w/ electrolysis .walnut shells are used for more delicate items,they are used commonly on guns.we have used black beauty which is coal slag ,we have been using recycled glass,The guy melts down glass bottles and processes it into blasting media ,and claims it doesn't contain silica.
