Hullo,
Our local Lidl had ultrasound cleaners on offer, and obviously I bought one to clean my glasses and missus' trinkets.
Do you reckon it could be useful to get release agents off figs?
Cheers,

Is that some type of water bath gadget?  I've not seen them before.

Probably. I think they can be used to help strip paint.

That would be useful



Take care

I used to use one years ago in the lab. I used acetone to get enamels off. Water for acrylics. Worked a treat.

Sounds like 25 euros well spent. Now where did I hide those botched up paint jobs...
Cheers and Happy holidays!

Smoking gun

I have one too, I use mine to mix paint, if they have a paper label (vallejo) pop the paint battle in a plastic bag.

For cleaning small items (e.g. airbrush components) with a special cleaner I use a small glass jar or ramekin in the water bath.

Very useful bit of kit.

Now they've knocked me down and taken it, that still hot and smoking gun.
