Jack, I think this has come up in other threads before, but what do you use as a "bath" in your ultrasonic cleaner? Great pictures, thanks.

Hi Eric: I bought the Lyman cleaner from Cabellas and use a bath of distilled water and Lyman Turbo Sonic Concentrated Steel and Gun Parts Cleaning Solution (also Cabellas) Mix 1 oz cleaner to 20 oz distilled water. You can use ordinary tap water but distilled will work faster (or so the bottle says). For really dirty parts I also use the heat setting on the ultrasonic cleaner. Some century old stuff requires many cycles through before they come clean but they do come clean. The odd piece of really caked on stuff needs the help of the always available tooth picks. Pointy ones from your favorite steak house work the best, especially since you need to eat a good steak first. Cheers, Jack
