<VV> Ultrasonic Parts Cleaners

[Frank DuVal]

I can say a 20 liter Branson (8510 DTH) will just fit an LS head and 
Simple Green/water mix is what my friend uses to clean them.

The new price is staggering! Even used is high. If looking at Vevor, 
check dimensions of L x W x H to fill line to see if your part will fit. 
Mixed reviews of that brand, but relatively cheap.

As Bryan says the HEAT and ultrasonic waves will travel through water 
and the plastic bag just fine. Even if the bag gets a pinhole in it 
(parts are sharp) there will not be too much water/dirt swapping. Just 
get as much air out of the bag as possible.

The ultrasonic waves will pass through and clean the parts, but all that's ever in the actual tank is water.
