This "thing" has done the rounds on ebay a few time. Each time it fails to get a bid.......funny that!

"Soda blasting gear isnt that expensive to buy" I bought the gear and the soda (not cheap) and managed to spray it all around the inside of my shed until it looked like Christmas on the north pole. Next attempt was outside where i managed to kill all the grass and p*ss the neighbours off w...
