Soda Blasted Electrical Connectors

[Q Tip]

I was trying to figure the best way to clean up the corrosion on some of my electrical connectors, and tried the little homemade soda blaster.

Seems to have worked great.

Even cleaned up the white plastic connector pieces themselves.

Liar liar. We don't believe nuthin' with without pictures. There's a post here with a guy selling cheap iPhones. You could get one of them and take pictures.

I've only tried it on the male connector ends so far. Don't think it will work very well on the female side or on really small connectors.

But it does do a right fair job.

Way easy too.

I blasted my rectifier. Wish I had taken some before pics.
Looks 90% of new now. Not sure how it works though lol.

I used a dremel drill with the tiny round bit, (like the dentist uses), and lightly cleaned up the female connectors

Soda blasting is awesome!
The guy who soda blasted my cylinder head and jug when I rebuilt my engine 2 years back was a mobile service and did lots of work in factories where machinery was being soda blasted around sealed and roller bearing.
He told me that he could blast anything as long as it could be washed with soap and water to remove the soda residue thus leaving 0 grit!
Got my vote,would love to gear one up in my garage someday!
