Just bought and am about to try the L&R ultrasonic cleaner and rinse in my ultrasonic machine. A few quick questions:

1). I plan to seal the jars to reduce fumes. I don’t think that will be an issue (pressure buildup?) but curious if anyone has had an issue with this. 
 

2) I am planning a 4 minute wash followed by 2X 3 minute rinse. I am assuming it is not advisable to use heat with solvent based products, but again if anyone has advice in terms of an  optimal temperature - I’m all ears. 
 

3) If using a two jar solvent rinse process, is there any need for a third rinse in IPA or is that just overkill?

I keep mine in the jugs they came in and mason jars. I've not had any issues with it evaporating past the seals. One Dip is the only watch cleaning chemical I've experienced that with.

I usually do fives, but it's pretty arbitrary. However long it takes to get the job done without doing damage is fine. I usually turn the heater on when I start, but don't really wait for it to get there. I've done it cold as well, and haven't noticed any difference. 

Rinsing in IPA is probably not as good as the L&R rinse. I doubt it's undoing any of the cleaning progress made, but it's not really gaining you anything either.

      Blew it with a coil

      [Myota2034] Custom simple quartz watch — PricewaterhouseCoopers On a very very different note, here is a watch from approximately 2000 when I was a Partner with PwC, Management Consulting. It was a simple “marketing watch” with a clever “vase of knowledge” that is subtly revealed on the dial as the second hand progresses. Clever for a simple watch!⌚️

      Mainspring winder question.

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I think someone else has though. Some where here using a modified perspex sheet. I may be wrong i may be right , i think it involved fitting the arbor to a pin vice. I dont have experience of the bergeon winders, are the handles not interchangeable ?

      Dial Dots

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Never tried dial dots, i always considered them as a bit of a bodge.  You are adding something that was never intended to be there. I wonder how the adhesive reacts to any part of the movement, hot summer heat and i think things might turn sticky. Most adhesive backed stuff has a tendency to soften and slide around so it may spread, i have used a lot of so called sticks all adhesives in my industry that are just not up to the job. I suppose they get you out of a problem quickly, but how permanently might that be ? I would just explain to the owner that it may or may not work. WWs other ideas are a much more permanent solution but both have their risks . I've tried milling and dial feet replacements, hmm it was ok, ive heard of folk dimpling the face , so that needs care . And i have soldered a few times , all with good results but i am very careful and I practiced it a lot.
