I've been reading on this site LOTS of different techniques to degrease and clean moulds after storage and before using. Products from a Dawn or similar detergent boil to spraying (with safety glasses on) with Brakleen type products.
All of my moulds are Lyman, H&G, and Winchester brand ferrous construction, and I have been spraying them lightly with Starrett M-1 oil before each is placed in an open plastic bag for storage.
Rather than the boiling or spraying method to degrease before use, I was thinking of employing the Lyman Magnum Ultrasonic cleaner, using their Parts Cleaner solution.
However, before risking ruination of moulds I love and cherish trying it, I reckoned I'd post this and hope to receive some (e.g., "it works!", or "DON'T DO IT!!!") sage feedback.
Thanks!!! george
