Ultrasonic Cleaning Method - Video Tutorial (1 Viewer)

[allforcharity]

I change my rinse water every 400 chips or so, depending on how dirty it gets.

It's dirty when you can't tell there's a chip in the bucket when it's only about 3 inches deep.

Great video thanks

Great video. Next thing on my list is definitely getting an ultrasonic.

I may try this one day, but for me, clear dish soap, toothbrush, and warm water does the trick!

 

[wylke]

Thanks for the amazing tutorial

 

[steadychillin]

Wow this is an amazing tutorial for a newbie like me, and the tools and machines are not expensive as I was able to find a second hand ultrasonic machine similar to the one in the video. Super excited to try it on my yakama lot!

Here’s what I have going today. About 650 crystal park chips to go through.

Soak for about 30 mins in warm water and dawn

Run about 2 mins through the ultrasonic with 2 tablespoon TSP and 1 tablespoon dawn. Comes out nice and clean

I would skip the Dawn next time. You don't want bubbling/suds.

In the thread from other crystal park owners, they mentioned that dawn helped.

I gave it a try and it did take a little longer to clean, but then again I was doing larger amounts of chips per batch. Seemed to work fine.

Last time I had to clean chips was when I got my Horseshoe Cincy set and those were some of the most filthy chips I've ever had.

Realized I mixed up threads. Was following some posted experience with others who were trying to remove the yellow tint on the HSI snappers who said they had good results from using TSP with a bit of Dawn and leaving them for a longer run in the ultrasonic.

Yeah, the 30 minute soak and Dawn in the Ultrasonic sound counter productive. I'm leery of soaking chips that long... water getting under inlays etc. Generally the dirtiest RHC chips with the original mixture of TSP are in the ultrasonic for 30 seconds... no pre-soak... 40 chips at a time.

Wow never seen a process like this! I don’t even wanna imagine how gross that water is

Decided to video document my first attempt at Ski_Ex5's Ultrasonic Cleaning Method. Since it was my first go, it certainly wasn't perfect.

I sincerely hope this helps in tandem with the original documented instructions. I sincerely appreciate Ski_Ex5's OP and the helpful contributed info from Tommy and liftapint.

*Warning* - I am born and raised in Northern California so anticipate a lot of "hella" "super awesome" "totally" and a potential "dude".

That's a cool process. I like it to the point that I will purchase one unit to begin a massive clean up. Thanks for the video

 

[A. J. Giametta]

Another bucket list project.

 

[JesterTX]

Great video and demo. Will be getting my own set up soon.

 

[bigredking]

The video in OP doesn't seem to be available.

 

[drawingdead]

The photos are amazing, I can't believe how good they look post clean. But the video isn't working on the top post... would love to see it if it's available somewhere.

@NorCalChip - can the video be re-posted? It’s been marked “private”

 

[Batse2880]

I have an ultrasone cleaner, can this not harm the clay chips from Paulson?
