Reviews & Ratings for RCBS Ultrasonic/Rotary Case Cleaning Solution — 3 reviews — Page 1

I just got my first ultrasonic, and considered all the homebrew options first. It timed out perfectly that I found this on sale and received it in time to try on my initial batch of brass. I had a mixed assortment of .44, .233, .338, and some other odds and ends, for a total of 350 pieces. They had been deprimed, tumbled in corncob, sized, and trimmed, so they really just needed case lube removed. So I thought. I mixed a batch of solution with hot water, and processed all the brass through that one mix of cleaner in four, 30 minute batches. At the end, the solution was a deep, dark green, and my brass was glistening, with shiny primer pockets and much cleaner insides. I followed the instructions that said not to rinse in water, and they did not spot- as advertised. The brass did have a slightly tacky feel, so I may try rinsing in the future.

I was slightly worried about the "caustic fumes" as I'm sensitive to strong scents in general, however even running at 140 degrees it was not an issue. At 40:1 mixed with water I can't imagine how it would be

Overall very impressed with the performance, and would recommend.

Used this product with the RCBS ultrasonic cleaner I purchased (which I returned because the display would go out when unit hit about 130 degrees). While the solution does what it claims to do, the vapors are very caustic. If you are using heat, it is impossible not to breath some of the vapors created and it feels like your lungs are being severely burned. I inhaled one small breath and my lungs felt burned for several hours. Be very careful with this product and wait until the solution cools way down before handling. Yes, I realize it was partially my fault, I should have let it cool but this review serves as a warning.
