      So, I’ve had a few rocks to clean lately – Had the joy of getting an ultrasonic cleaner a few years ago from my old man, and it’s been put to good use. That said, I’ve learned a few things along the way – Don’t try and clean native metals, and if you’re doing small things load them in beakers, or if you’re running acid load that in the beaker and then into the bath. Obviously, I’m not encouraging a discussion on soaking your fingers in aqua regia here – That aside, what do you use in your ultrasonic bath? do you have one? If you don’t, I can make a few recommendations!
