Ultra Sonic Cleaner--work well to remove Bead Release?
I am considering buying an Ultra Sonic Cleaner to clean the bead release out of my beads. Any thoughts? Reccomendations? Reasons why yes or no? Thank You! ANY info shared is much appreciated!
Smiles, Sheri

I use my BeadReamer too and love it--but I am having some kind of reaction to the BR and have to wear Nitrile gloves to torch and clean!! Holding the little spacers to clean is a major booger. My SIL works for a Dental supply co and I was thinking of getting one of their Professional Ultra Sonic Cleaner to save my bleeding aching hands!

I use the Beadreamer too but an ultra sonic cleaner sounds so much easier! That would be great if this works well

It sounds like a nice easy way to clean out the bead release. Unfortunately, it did not work for me.

I tried one of the cheap, small ultrasonic jewelry cleaners for removing BR, no joy

I haven't had any success with using the ultrasonic on my beads, but it *does* work to get the bead release off my cabs - eventually. It takes several-many cycles (mine only goes for like two-three minutes at a time), but if I've got a bunch of cabs to clean tossing them in and reaching over periodically to hit the button again while I work on something else is better than having to clean them all myself.

What release are u using? I'm using blue sludge and usually just running the mandrel is enough. I used to clean all my beads with the BeadReamer from art in the round as well, but the blue stuff comes off so easily I haven't been using it on many beads at all.
At least with just the mandrel, you would not have to worry too much about getting it on you as much as w/the Dremel. Maybe.... Lol

loosens the bead release making it much easier and faster to clean
