    Blast services North GA, Metro ATL area?

    Any of you other Georgia guys recommend a source for blasting. Have lots of stuff and debating whether to job it out or invest in a booth and do it myself. If I job it out I don't want to have to pack and ship, need to be able to drop off and pick up. I'm in Braselton.

    Rust dissolver

    I think I've read on here about some special rust dissolver that could be used to free up stuck engines. I've got an old BSA single project that I need something to help free the engine up. I'll be reboring anyway so I'm not worried about the finish it leaves as long as it doesn't eat aluminum.
