MB's official blast thread..why not? Update..8/10/14 One of three for FYA Champs

I don’t do soda blasting anymore. Limited to production only.

The dinner grit bead media is extremely close to the texture of the soda. That said there are numerous grit sizes to utilize in bead if you would be looking for a fine or more coarse texture.

Bead blasting is $18 and includes return ship. The more to be done the more the price drops per piece.

Also, bead blasting strips off the current anodizing so that the yo-yo can be anodized again (by say, England1414)?

Yes another benefit of bead. Soda can only be used on a raw piece. As stated above bead will remove the ano very good effectively.
