December 21, 2005, Walla, Walla, Washington: The Soda Works, the Washington state-based manufacturer of soda blasting equipment and materials/media distributor, today announced that New England Surface Restoration, LLC has taken delivery of a new Buster Blaster mobile soda blaster. Located in Durham, Connecticut, the company is founded and operated by Bob and Bryon Thayer.

As the newest owner/operator in The Soda Work's national organization, New England Surface Restoration will focus first on recreational and professional marine soda blasting services with additional applications coming on-line as their presence widens and demand for the environmentally-friendly process grows.

In addition to its marine uses, soda blasting cleans all types of delicate equipment and surfaces, eliminating sanding, soaking, scrubbing and as a replacement for destructive abrasive sand blasting. It is gaining in popularity for stripping antique cars, trucks, trailers, containers, heavy equipment; graffiti removal, surface rust removal and stain elimination. It is also used to clean wood and masonry, remove grease and oil, clean aluminum and stainless steel, sanitize food processors, and for mold remediation and fire restoration.
