ultrasonic cleaning before paint

a few days ago i decided to experiment with using an ultrasonic cleaner with soap in it to wash model before paint...







scrub a dub it worked beautiful, i hope i have shared something of use with my fellow modellers
after seeing the final results i discovered the machine removed all embedded dust powder and sanding residue
that i swear you wouldn't get scrubbed off without breaking your etch

That is a cool looking little gadget. It is one of those things I have heard people that have them talk about them, and I always end up where I am right now. Thinking I need to get one for myself what with all the shelf queens I have that are buried under about a half an inch of permanent dust .

it will work wonders....i picked mine up at harbor freight tools for 100 us dollars (back when the dollar had value...remember those days?)

I've also heard of people using these to clean and maintain airbrushes, has anyone tried this with any success ?

I throw my Airbrushes as well as other stuff in all of the time.
I will try doing a tank next.
