I know we really have a very diverse group here, with some very interesting work histories.
Anyway, I want to get a good 2+ quart heated ultrasonic cleaner, but I need it for 2 wildly different things.
My partner makes jewelry, so it will get used to clean various jewelry during the polishing process, and periodically after being worn. BUT, I want to use it for cleaning pistols and medium-small rifle parts. My issue is getting lead residue from the firearms in with the jewelry.
Can you put a smaller container in an ultrasonic tub and have the vibrations pass through properly to the smaller vessel, like a pyrex dish or tempered canning jar? Or would the parts in a ziploc bag with the solvent work? I can preheat the solvent or cleaner, so the second container being a thermal barrier isn't an issue.
