School me on ultrasonic cleaners.. how do you use them, for what purpose, hot or cold, etc.... Just picked up a small one to play with, mostly for cleaning gun parts, but what else can I do with it? I know brass can be done, though I have both wet and dry tumble for that, so I really don't need to do brass in it, but I assume with the same mix (water, Dawn and lemishine) and cold, I can get similar results to wet tumble (tho this won't hold too many cases..
Mine has a heater, so I can run it hot and I played with it a bit and ran some aluminum rimfire baffles in a ziploc of 50/50 Simple Green advanced (the safe for aluminum kind) and water, did pretty well once the solution got warmed up. I also want to use it to clean the TiN bbl on one of my carry pistols that gets carbon fouled bad on the muzzle (it's in a spectre comp 365) and is a pain in the butt to get clean. This seems easier if it works, but I need to foul it again to test it out.
