Hi

I bought some of these https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/diamond-gemstone-washing-cup?code=G39601from Cousins to wash items in my ultrasonic without having to use baskets. All I have done at the moment is place the cleaner and rinse in the jars. Pretty soon after the cleaner (L&R Extra Fine) turned blue. Obviously it must be a reaction with the sieve. I have a vague recollection that copper + ammonia = blue.

Two questions - am I right? Is that likely to be the cause? Is the fluid still usable, or is it contaminated? Thanks.

Stephen

Hi

Thanks for the response, it's good to know my memory still works;). There won't be any water as there is nothing in there apart from cleaning fluid, which has presumably reacted with the sieve. It's no real problem to dispose of as there is only about 100ml, but I hate to waste it. I'm just wondering if it is still OK to use, despite the change in colour.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Oh well, if Master @nickelsilver says it's the way to go, then it is the way to go! I stand corrected! 🫡 Are there any other places where you're supposed to remove the epilame from the contact point of rubbing? I don't think so! Thanks for the effort @Neverenoughwatches, much appreciated! 🙂👍

      If you're seeking advice for your "Harvard GSD" MArch II application essays, I'd recommend taking a thoughtful approach. Reflect deeply on your experiences, passions, and goals, and tailor your essays to showcase your unique perspective and potential contributions to the program. As for resources, I recently stumbled upon a gret platform for essays, and I must say, it's been quite helpful. Their selection of pre-written essays covers a wide range of topics, and their professional writers can also assist with custom essays tailored to your specific needs. Check out their offerings here: https://essaypro.com/essays-for-sale. Remember, authenticity is key in your application essays. Good luck!

      For clarity and ease of testing, I redid that diagram, flipping the circuit to match the layout of the physical watch.

      Hello, Thanks for the reply. The old jewel will get pushed out from the "outside" which is the dial side. The new jewel will get pressed in from the inside (shown below) which is the movement side, correct?     And the old jewel and spring will get pushed from the is the "outside" which is the dial side. Thank you very much for the information. I will take out the KIF spring and save it. Will update when the new jewel is in place!   Regards, Joe

      It's a little circlip style retaining clip to keep the pinion from riding up out of position.
