Reply To: L&R solution

[Bob Tascione]

I agree with everything Paul said. You can use an alcohol rinse for some water based solutions but when cleaning watches or small clocks with lever escapement platforms you’ve got to make the rinsing/drying process quick.
For clocks, aIcohol rinses work well for ammoniated water based cleaning solutions but I still suggest going with the recommended rinse when using L&R solutions for watches. A rinse can be made using Stoddard’s solvent and Naptha (I don’t remember the ratio between the two but can find out for you if you wish) but the amount of money saved along with the risk of getting pure enough product doesn’t seem worth the trouble.

As for the rinsing cycle you can do it in your sonic too. Quick question Bill…what type of machine are you using?
