Has anyone tried an ultrasound on PCRs or other suits molds?
Correct; fill the machine up with your TSP/water solution, set your heater temperature to 40°, set the machines timer to the highest value, and then turn the whole thing on. It'll make the horrible screeching noise for like 30+ minutes, then you're ready to go.just to confirm, by running themachine youmean the transducers? not the heat only
If you have concentrated human gunk attached the ultrasonic loosens but does not lift off this gunk without more time....if you leave your chips in the ultrasonic over 4 mins you will see deterioration of your chips. It takes a lot less effort....I shake....then brush the chip gunk off/loosen it and wipe the edge firmly while holding the inside clay edges while wiping the outside, then shaking the last out followed by a rinse with a strong sink sprayer. This results is near perfectly clean chips and minimal to no wear on the same. If the chips are really dirty you will only be affecting the surface gunk unless it is removed/disturbed the deeper dirt will never move.I like that but isnt the purpose of having a US not to scrub the donkey out of the chips?
got it thanks! I may try this technic as wellIf you have concentrated human gunk attached the ultrasonic loosens but does not lift off this gunk without more time....if you leave your chips in the ultrasonic over 4 mins you will see deterioration of your chips.

up to you to experiment with what works best......This is by far the simplest way I have ever found to clean chips. I am cleaning some more this morning I will show the results of the 500's and any more that I finish.
Agreed; 2+ minutes seems insane based on my experiences. I do remember some poor soul who lose a single Santa Ysabel $1 in his U/S for over an hour. When it came out, it was healthy and intact ... but instead of being blue it was wint-o-green.Rarely have I ever needed a cleaning cycle longer than 2 minutes. But I have accidentally left a chip or two that spilled out of the cage for about 20-30 minutes and multiple cleaning cycles without any damage, and it was a hot stamp, too!
OK so you have a 6L unit... so 12 cups would be the equivalent of 3L... are you saying you had the US 1/2 full?thx! yes I use distilled water.
right from the start ot was obvious to me that there was not enough water so I added 4 cups for a total of 12 cups of water. From my picture you guys still think there was not enough liquid?
I think that half full is actually correct here as long as you're using a salad spinner to agitate a stack of chips at a time. The additional volume displacement added pushes the water about 80% toward the top.OK so you have a 6L unit... so 12 cups would be the equivalent of 3L... are you saying you had the US 1/2 full?
Yeah, but the agitation is crucial since the cavitation effect can't work if the chips are stuck together. A lot of people don't realize that and just dump a whole bunch of them in with them resting on top of each other.The only thing that matters with respect to water is how deeply submereged the chips are. They should be about 3+ inches deep into the water if you're spinning them in and out, however you accomplish that. They're only getting cleaned while submerged and agitated.
Please tell me you've got some macro shots of a chip before and after... It's kinda my fetish.FYI did a third batch last night with more tsp - the quantity I now think its the most adequate and it went perfectly. No scrubbing needed at all.
I suggest adding your liquid TSP proportions to the main ultrasonic thread. That way the next person can leverage your findings.FYI did a third batch last night with more tsp - the quantity I now think its the most adequate and it went perfectly. No scrubbing needed at all.
My recommendation is therefore the following: if you don t use exactly the same product/tsp, make sure you look at the recommendation and do the math. It should be similar to what is recommended for heavy duty cleaning.
Thx again everyone for the help and support!
sounds like a good idea but it will be kind of lost in the 43 pages no? I will anyways that way someone looking for that will have better pot oddsI suggest adding your liquid TSP proportions to the main ultrasonic thread. That way the next person can leverage your findings.
ahah ok I dont but I still have a few racks to do so I ll turn you on later lolPlease tell me you've got some macro shots of a chip before and after... It's kinda my fetish.
