You all crack me up!! Great shirt...lol.. when I seen it I started laughing, thanks.... when I did the bathroom door we sent it out to get dipped. The trim in the living room I did with a heat gun. Wish the husband would of thought of sandblasting, great ideal... stay safe from the storms.. love to all
Boy that is a massive renovation job! What great team work. It takes a toll on your body and relationship to do so much work. Very good job managing farm, house, kids, marriage, and more! Great job on the trim work. I wonder why you did not just soda blast in the room directly? Run up a line thru a window. Thanks!
32yrs in the trade and never thought of such prep 👍🏻 did you find you need to treat the surface prior to coating of any salt is penetrated the wood with some kind of solution ?
I can’t tell you you’re wrong. What are you seeing in the wood that’s telling you that? I felt like old pine might have more knots, butI don’t know. What do you think?
@@4AcresandaFarmhouse Knots occur where a limb grew out of that portion of the tree. The grain of the wood is the tell here, pine has a very pronounced pattern, the light portions of the wood are lighter and softer, that is the summer (faster) growth, the darker portions are winter (slower) growth and harder. I wish i could share some picture examples here but TH-cam doesn't work like that, a quick google search for oak grain and pine grain will illustrate what I'm saying. Oak is a hardwood and the grain structure is completely different from pine.
That is fantastic!! I’m glad we could help. I will warn. Be careful and try not to get too aggressive or you may carve some of the wood if it’s really soft. I’ve learned the hard way. I’ve just accepted that it’s going to happen and I try to be as careful as possible. We love you too. Thanks for watching!!
I saw this video what type of material did you get because I use to do alot of paint stripping & sanding I'll like to know what type of sand bag you use when I saw this video I became motivated to start again
I have 12 doors from 1932 that i need to strip and repaint, i might stain them if i blast them. Questions: 1. What is the equipment you purchased? You mentioned Harbor freight for the Sodium; was that for the blaster, too? 2. How did you capture the sodium to reuse, just what was on the tarp? 3. What size Air compressor were you using? I have a small, 6gal, i use for trim nailing, if its the same size as yours i might just roll forward with it, but if its smaller, I'll want to buy a new one and at that point i would buy something larger than yours just to not deal with the down time if I'm spending money anyway. Great video overall. It was SUPER helpful, and its going to save me a tone of time and mess from the paint strippers I'm used to using.
Alright, 1) yes to HB for the blaster. Also bought a ‘deadman’ at HB. Look that up on thelr site. 2) l didn’t do a great job on this video. Check out the video after, l built a little containment and lt works pretty good. Still has some spill but better than nothing. 3) l have an undersized 15 gallon. lt pretty much runs the whole time but it’s fine. l’ve had that thing for 25 years. lf lt dies, lt will glve me an excuse to buy a new one. Good luck and thanks for watching.
do you think that if you changed up your "technique" somhow you could have gotten both doors with one bag? the media is a bit expensive here and I have a similar square foot project to consider. thanks for sharing this with us!
What I ended up doing was building a little catch basin out of 2x4’s and plastic sheeting to catch a lot of the media. I then take a sifter and reuse it. I don’t get it all, but it’s better than what I did on this video. Come to think of it, I made a video on the contraption that I made. Please go through our channel and check out that video. Thanks for watching. Don’t forget to subscribe😃
I know this video is a year old, and I hope you'll get this message, but it fits a project I am working on. I have about 100 kitchen cabinet doors and drawers with the standard oak/pine looking finish I need to sand... they have tons of detailed corners that are going to take years to complete, so I thought about sandblasting, but I see you used soda. Why soda and not sand?
Hi David. I chose it because I think I had read that it was less aggressive. I don’t know if that’s true. You have to be careful with the air pressure. Make sure you test it on some sacrificial wood to dial it in as much as possible. On my project, I found that in areas that had a lot of buildup got damaged just a little because I had to get more aggressive to get it clean. There was a little carving of the wood in those areas. I just had to accept some of that in order to get all the crap off of the it. If you are ok with that, then this is a great alternative. I , like you, have so much wood to refinish and it would take a lifetime. Hope this helps. Good luck. Check out some our other videos and you can see some of the work we’ve done. Thanks for watching.
Yes. You’ll have to be careful though. Some of the paint on my trim was really on there and I inadvertently scarred the wood a little being too aggressive with it. You will need to experiment a little and find out what works best. If it’s really tough, you may have to use a different medium, like sand, and increase the pressure slightly. Just start on an inconspicuous spot and be prepared to make adjustments as you’re going. Hope this helps. Good luck.
I think it would be really expensive. I also believe what comes from the grocery is extremely fine. I’m not sure how it would work. The product I’m using is almost like sand.
I haven’t. I’ll look into it. I’ve been sifting and reusing the soda though. I built a little catch basin in another video so I could catch it. Check it out. Thanks for watching.
Really because it was old stain and shellac. We just wanted to strip everything down and start fresh. I also was afraid things wouldn’t match color wise. In hindsight, it probably would have been fine, but this is fine as well.
One door took probably an hour. I have an undersized compressor for the job (15 gallon). I have to stop periodically and let it catch up, so that adds to the time. It goes a lot faster than sanding, I know that. Yes, there was a bit of a learning curve. There was what I would call carving on some of the softer areas. It wasn’t too bad though. I just had to pay attention and adjust how far away from the door I was when blasting. It has really been a life saver. I have miles of trim in this place.
To be fair, I haven’t done a louvered door, but I don’t see why not. I’ve found the soda blaster to work great in all the cracks and crevices. That’s why I went to it, I was having trouble too with the doors I was working on. Hope this helps. Good luck!!
Yeah, you really do. I would suggest trying it out on a sacrificial piece before your project piece. I learned the hard way too. Good luck with it. Thanks for watching.
We have the exact same doors in our home and I love the style, but there's several coats of paint on them and I've been contemplating doing this myself but wasn't sure how well it would work. Now I think I'll give it a shot. Hope It works out as well for me as it did for you folks.....thanks for the informative video
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching. The only thing l would say ls to be careful how close you get the nozzle to the work or you may start to carve lt lf lt’s soft wood. Good luck.
I enjoyed watching your video. The trim reminds me of the 1925 Montgomery Ward house I bought and had to renovate. Are you sure those doors are oak? The grain pattern looks like heart pine to me which is a very desired wood. Best wishes on your renovations
Thank you for the kind words. I’m not sure what kind of wood it is. I guess I always felt like pine would have more knots. This wood isn’t knotty really at all, and it’s pretty hard, that’s why I thought it might be oak. Well, you’ve given me something to think about. Thanks for watching and take care.
Good question! We’ve not tried it on paint but I’m guessing it would work just as well. In fact, the video we saw that introduced us to soda blasting was using it on a painted door.
Let me jump in here. The paint on our doors has several layers and while it does come off, I wouldn’t say it comes off well, or easily. You might try a little sand if you are trying to get off thick paint. Just be careful, sand is aggressive and can scar the wood.
Have you had issues with it not spraying consistently? How long did it take you to blast a door? I'm looking into purchasing a soda blaster because I've had issues using soda with a regular sand blaster. I may just need the dryer and a better compressor!
Well, I don’t have a dryer, and it hasn’t really been a problem for me. I did have an issue at first but I think the problem was I was opening the valve all the way. I throttled back the valve that allows the soda through and it started working great. The soda was getting packed up in wouldn’t flow good. It took about 1/2 hour or so. Not long at all. It was a real life saver. Be careful with your air pressure and how close you get to the wood or you might start carving the wood out. There’s a fine line. You’ll just need to experiment until you get it right. Good luck and I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Just got a small sandblasting (top feeding) gun and put baking soda in it. It is not working like yours, I don’t know if it’s bc my air compressor is too small (I’m betting it is considering it’s a 6 gallon pancake 🤣) or if I’m not running it on a high enough PSI, or if it’s the cheap gun. SO, could you please tell me what PSI you were running at when you did yours? And what brand sand blaster you were using? If changing PSI doesn’t do the trick I’ll have to upgrade my blaster. Thanks so much!!!
Ok.......I bought a 40 lbs sand blaster from Harbor Freight and the nozzle I bought to go with it was called a deadman. I purchased that at HF too. You can do a quick search on their site and find what I have pretty easily. I have a 15 gallon Craftsman air compressor that couldn’t keep up so I had it cranked to 120 psi knowing that it would neither get there nor stay there. Your handheld should have a psi recommendation in the instructions. I can’t really tell you what that should be because I don’t know what you have. The smaller the compressor the less air you have to work with, so you might just have to do short bursts or upgrade a little bit. I am leaning towards it being too small. Hope this helps. Good luck and Thanks for watching!!
@@4AcresandaFarmhouse thank you so much for the response, I figured it out, it’s my compressor. It simply can’t keep up, like you said. I had to do similar and jack it all the way up, use it for approximately 60 seconds and let it recover a minute… it was quite tedious and I even considered buying a larger compressor during this process in 91 degree weather LOL It took me the better part of the day but I got most of what I needed done. Still may upgrade at some point as I have multiple antique pieces I’m going to restore and the media blasting is such a genius method for detailed places that usually only stripper could take care of… and who wants to use stripper??? Not me, not ever LOL
It’s small and undersized. 15 gallon, 1.5 hp. I have to stop after a couple minutes to let it catch up, but it works. It would be better if I had a bigger compressor. If it works, is it wrong? 😉 Thanks for watching!!
I bought the unit at Harbor Freight. I also bought a deadman for it. I’m not sure of the nozzle size, I just used what came in the kit and they all looked the same in size. I have a small, undersized compressor. I have it set to 120psi but it can’t maintain that and constantly runs. I have to stop periodically and let it catch up. I control it by how close I hold the nozzle to the work. Basically, I have to play with it and adjust as I’m going.
Probably. I’ve commented several times to people that you really have to be careful. Sometimes the varnish, paint, or whatever you’re trying to remove, is deep. There has to be an acceptable amount of damage that you’re willing to accept. I’m ok with a little because the amount of trim in this house is off the chart.
It’s a 15 gallon craftsman I got on sale like 15 years ago. Works fine for airing up tires, etc but not so much for continuous work like soda blasting. Just working with what I have.
Yeah man, l dld that a minute ago. l made another video shortly after showing a little containment thing l built to capture all the media. Haven’t bought a bag since. l just sift lt and reuse. Check lt out. Thanks for watching.
It's like a 15 gallon Craftsman that I got on sale about 15 yrs ago. It works fine for pumping up tires and the occasional impact drill work. It's not made for continuous duty. Thanks for watching.
It does make quite a mess. I made another video where I made a little containment so I could control the mess and save some of the soda. I just scoop it all up, sift it, and reuse it. Thanks for watching.
Great tip. I spent the money on this thing, and it works pretty well. I’ll probably stick with it for now. I do like those sanders though. I would probably need a bigger compressor to drive it. Thanks for watching!!
😂😂. Yeah, it’s just one of the decorative options that must have been really tough to decide on 60 years ago, and that’s the one they landed on??? Thanks for watching!!
@@4AcresandaFarmhouse by your tone, I can tell you’re disappointed. And since the title said oak, so were the rest of us. Also - wear a fucking respirator. Cheers
Not sure exactly. There were 4-5 in the kit with the deadman. They honestly all look the same size. If they are different, it’s not perceptible. Hope this helps.
Ok Tip 1 Put something behind that crow bar to distribute the load, It will save you a LOT of plaster work. Tip 2 Hang those doors vertically (2 screws at the top) or stand them perfectly plumb. Do NOT lean them at any angle or all your hard work will be on warped doors that no longer fit. Tip 3 Trim must lie flat or they too will be of no use in a small amount of time. Usually 2 supports (2 points make a straight line) where the ends of the trim counterbalance the middle from sagging. Yes Im one of the assholes that disliked. It is because of your title was wrong. I tuned in for "soda blasting doors" not a day or week in the life of.... Not saying there isnt an audience for that. Been there done that. hope this helps. Yeah I know its after the fact but i dont know how many rooms youve done yet.

Non toxic,but I'm sure any foreign substance being inhaled cannot be good.

Yes, however, I buy the bulk bag from Harbor Freight.
I’d tape off the room and soda blast the wood in the house😅 ok maybe not, I’d probably use a sander inside the go use on it.
It does make quite a mess. I made another video where I made a little containment so I could control the mess and save some of the soda. I just scoop it all up, sift it, and reuse it. Thanks for watching.
Looks like Pine?
I think you’re right I corrected myself in a following video. Thanks for watching.
Are you guys in the Vero Beach area?
We’re in Indiana. Sounds like a place we should visit though.
Get a surfprep sander 10mm foam pads contour to all that and get it sanded in minutes
Great tip. I spent the money on this thing, and it works pretty well. I’ll probably stick with it for now. I do like those sanders though. I would probably need a bigger compressor to drive it. Thanks for watching!!
That def won’t be faster because of the panel inserts on the doors. His soda blasting is much faster
Oak door looks like pine to me.
I think it is too. I said Oak in the video but upon working with them more throughout the home, I believe you’re right. Thanks for watching.
Found that video no help at all captions say soda blasting 130 year-old Doors did not see any soda blasting
👍🏻
Just found your TH-cam channel
Welcome friend. Thanks for watching.
Flashback to 6 years old just from the closest lineolum
😂😂. Yeah, it’s just one of the decorative options that must have been really tough to decide on 60 years ago, and that’s the one they landed on??? Thanks for watching!!
When you finish the sandblasting and realize it’s pine.
Your point?
@@4AcresandaFarmhouse by your tone, I can tell you’re disappointed. And since the title said oak, so were the rest of us. Also - wear a fucking respirator. Cheers
Don't soda blast around ur garden it changes ph...love the channel and content
You’re right. I did it in the grass at first and that spot still won’t grow anything. Weeds won’t even grow.
@@4AcresandaFarmhouse now I know what to sprinkle on my brick path to stop the weeds!
What size nozzle did you use ?
Not sure exactly. There were 4-5 in the kit with the deadman. They honestly all look the same size. If they are different, it’s not perceptible. Hope this helps.
Pitch pine not Oak
Yeah, l know now.
Get er done!
Thanks for watching brother!!
Ok
Tip 1 Put something behind that crow bar to distribute the load, It will save you a LOT of plaster work.
Tip 2 Hang those doors vertically (2 screws at the top) or stand them perfectly plumb. Do NOT lean them at any angle or all your hard work will be on warped doors that no longer fit.
Tip 3 Trim must lie flat or they too will be of no use in a small amount of time. Usually 2 supports (2 points make a straight line) where the ends of the trim counterbalance the middle from sagging.
Yes Im one of the assholes that disliked. It is because of your title was wrong. I tuned in for "soda blasting doors" not a day or week in the life of.... Not saying there isnt an audience for that.
Been there done that. hope this helps. Yeah I know its after the fact but i dont know how many rooms youve done yet.
Thanks for the tips bro. I guess I can’t please everyone all the time. Keep watching and subscribe. Trust me, you’re going to love the channel. We’ll be praying for you.
Definitely not Oak
I agree. I have been convinced. Thanks for watching friend.
How long did the sand blasting take in real time?
Probably 45 minutes or so. Life saver. Be careful. You can carve the wood out lf the pressure ls set high and the wood ls soft.
