Ultra-sonic cleaner to clean out sanding dust.


Recommended Posts

After wet sanding the stinger assembly on my Su-34, the dust collected in the rivets and seams.  Even with a micro fiber cloth, could not get the dust out.  Ultra-sonic cleaner got it out easily.   Now just need an ultra sonic cleaner large enough for entire model aircraft. :-)

I've had good luck with canned air as well as Mr Color Thinner or alcohol with a retired tooth brush. But I will keep the ultrasonic cleaner in mind...

You guys are gonna think I'm insane.... but, I've been just using my airbrush and a trimmed (flat) artists brush.   I just crank the pressure to like 25-35 psi, and use the brush to help.   Works like a charm. 

 

Seems to also work for when you accidentally spray a piece of dust into your paint.  But only when the dust or hair is only partly adhered to the surface.
