Was thinking columbian marching powder in a cast iron tub with claw feet. This thread does not deliver.

on a related note it isnt long IIRC. i havent tried it. Consider this a bump im Curious.

never heard of anybody using coke to clean atty or carto's...you would have to use "classic" to get the desired effect

i would not leave them in there overnight either !!! classic coke is very corrosive to steel !!!!!

an ultrasonic cleaner would be better and less corrosive, and then drink the coke while you wait....enjoy !!

You can use just about anything that is Acidic to clean an atty. And Coke/Pepsi is acidic. But Regular Coke/Pepsi has HFCS in it which doesn’t rinse out very well. So you should use Diet Coke/Pepsi instead.

I would soak it for about an hour and then give it a good Rinse/Dry.

I myself like to use Acetic Acid (Household Vinegar). I find it works better and rinses cleaner than most acids or alcohols.

I use vinegar and baking soda to clean mine. Never used coke though.

I hadn't thought about baking soda. What ratio of baking soda to vinegar do you use?

 

[chingbo]

theres a ratio involved..?

i just put my attys into an old contact lens cleaner thingy (not the flat ones of course)

I just scoop up baking soda into the atty and keep pouring vinegar in it and let it bubble.

Sometimes I hold it in my palm to compress it or whatever and let it build up before letting it air out.

and keep doing this till all the baking soda is gone, then rinse and dry

I guess if your into Carbonic Acid you can add Baking Soda but I don't think it helps much.

Hot water, and if you have it...an ultrasonic cleaner (without jewelry cleaner residue). Couple of cycles through and you're good. No need for all the chemistry.

I don't I drop in enough baking soda to fill half the atomizer and then I use a syringe filled with 10ml of vinegar and spray it in and let it bubble I repeat the vinegar till all the baking soda is gone. I sometimes repeat the process 1 or 2 more times depending how much juice I used from the last cleaning. I also do this to clean my eGo-T tanks too! If the atty/tanks are really smelly (from the last juice used) I will add a step to the cleaning. I will do the baking soda & vinegar then backing soda & lemon juice then another run of baking soda & vinegar. I'm a clean freak what can I say! When you are done just rinse everything with water. HTH!

Thanks for the reply. You are very thorough and disciplined, two traits that I really admire but can never duplicate. Somewhere around mid-lemon juice, my ADD-addled brain would would suddenly pipe up with, "Did you feed the cat?" or some such, and I'd find the atty a day or so later frothing at the mouth like a rabid animal. I should probably stick with just soaking them in vinegar or cheap vodka
