Mix and store in a gallon paint can, use it from a pint Mason jar. Dropped the jar many times over the years and have never broken it. Do NOT drop any on your wife's favorite furniture, or anything...

Yup. And here in Florida all you have to do is reach into any waterway, push the gator out of the way and grab a handful of them. :)

Okay, flea markets have boxes of them. Drill a hole and...

The problem with an ultrasonic for cleaning guns is that you have to fully disassemble the gun anyway, why not just clean it by hand? It's actually quicker than waiting for your ultrasonic to work....
