Citranox & ultra sonics

I finally found some dirty brass to check this Citranox out with, you can blame a full month of rain every day for not having any dirty brass around.
I dropped 3 ounces of it into a gallon jug of hot water and put 20 - 25/284 cases into the beakers and poured the solution in and let it go for 6 minutes, and they came out of the US tank as clean as could be. They were as clean as cases done with the vinegar solution in a lot less time and effort.
Next I changed the solution and dropped 20 really dirty 375JDJ cases into the beakers and added the Citranox solution and let them run for 6 minutes, and they came out still pretty dirty, so I ran them for a additional 6 minutes and this time they came out really clean inside and out.
I screwed up and left the 375's on the wood stove to long and they turned the prettiest blue you ever saw., I forgot I had opened the damper and walked off for a half hour.)
This stuff really seems to work very well for cleaning dirty brass with a Ultra Sonic.
Thanks for the tip Dave...............
 
I use the ones made in Danbury,CT. by Bransonic. They are a bit pricey but I've had them for years and they clean lots of other different things for me than just brass caseings.
I have heard that they don't clean gun parts very well but found out years ago, that that's bogus to say the least.
Use them the correct way and they will clean just fine......
 
Preacher,
Just looking over the Bransonic cleaners. What models or capacity do you use or recommend? I noticed the .5 gal model can use a 600ml beaker. Do you just include one beaker at a time or do you use a larger capacity.
Thanks,
David
 
dab- The old big one is a Model 220, and it will hold 2- 600ml beakers, thats the one I do the gun parts in.......
The new ones are Model 1510's and they will hold 2- 250 ml beakers and they will hold 25 6br cases easily in each one, and I don't clean any more than that at a time
anyways.
