You could try using Flour. flour blast.
all great ideas!
Yep. 
Try M&M Blast. It could be M&M colors.
What a beauty 
Blast came out extremely clean on this one. Has very nice lines to it.
Blasts can in fact embed little pieces of media into the aluminum. The amount is minimal, unintentional and usually undesirable. I’ve encountered this in the past when it interferes with the anodizing process.
Overall though, blasting is primarily a removal process that is essentially the same thing as satining, it just imparts a slightly different texture to the aluminum.
So right. Cleaning is key to any type of media that will be added later. Scrubbing and copious amounts of water followed by a thorough degrease is key.
How many times I have felt its clean only to wipe it with a white rag and see the remnants of a blast.
What would a sugar blasted yoyo feel like?
Can’t say I’m super familiar with it. From what I understand ILYY was using it at times, please correct me if I’m wrong. If so and my noctu is candyblasted then it’s very nice.
Have you walnut shell blasted a yoyo? I know that walnut shells are used as a blasting media…
No and yes there are numerous types of media to blast with.
In fact heading back down to the shop to mess with something right now, in a few actually. :
Resume normal viewing! Didn’t work.
YYR Overdrive & SPYY Sky Chaser bead blasted…
This it how it should be done. Fully polished prior to bead blasting has these two feeling like silk…
Nice!
Amazing! I want you to do something for me!
If only I had a metal yoyo :).
Magic yo not sure of the name of it…
This is the winner of the 3rd place prize Yooldman’s yoyo on its way to a powder…
It’s the MYY N12. Looks great here, and white.
That N12 looks amazing! I never liked the ano they had on MYY’s. it looks artificial. I like the blast better!
