Do you put just certain rocks in there? Or your entire batch. I'm picturing a metal 'tub' (small) that we'd put surgery instruments in for cleaning when I worked for my vet - some use for jewelry cleaning - is that what you are referring to? I might consider...not sure i have the room for another piece of equipment though ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Also thinking of a water pic - I have a hand held one that I could use, but might not work well on tight cracks, only open vugs. So far (KNOCKING ON WOOD!!) my second stage 2 batch in the mini is going much much better lol... Yea, you're picturing it right. The cheap one I got is basically meant for a watch or pair of glasses. I split the hopper up into 4 loads, I don't think it works as well if you just dump them all in to the top. But yea, it works for everything. I have a textile gun too if I really wanted to blast something out, but the ultrasonic cleaner is hands-off so I prefer that and it seems to do a great job. I honestly don't think I'd have the patience to water pick each crack out one at a time. Got it! That's an intriguing thought- I may look them up and see what I can find. Yeah, even the toothbrush can be quite tedious and i dont think it works as well as it should. Thanks for the tip!
