Elbow grease in a ultrasonic tank?

(1/2) > >>

Rick O Shea:
I noticed a thread recently about cleaning  and it was suggested that elbow grease, no don't laugh , is very good stuff. I wonder if this  is suitable to be used in ultrasonic tanks. I believe it is a citric acid based chemical pretty dilute I would imagine with some sort of soap chemical added but I don't know. Any advice or comments.

I am planning to use it to clean small instruments like speedometers. I use ultrasonics in my clockmaking work but with different chemicals, I would like on that is a bit easier to dispose  and is not too damaging to the environment. and that works, quite a big ask.

RotarySMP:
Elbow grease in the ultrasonic might work, but I find a bucket of propwash just as effective.

Rick,

A common or garden dishwasher tablet is pretty good, in some warm water.

Hi what is propwash please? product not known to me in UK.
I use paraffin in my ultrasonic for “Rough” cleaning and Automotive panelwipe for finer work (in my other machine).
Panelwipe   is a degreaser used in car painting quick evaporating and leaves no residue £12 gallon

Used to clean up after spilling either the green oil burnt in the starboard navlight or the red oil burnt in the port navlight on the golden rivet....

(actually propwash is the air current behind a propeller......)
