One dip solution question

[teng]

Is there anyway I can clean my balance wheel and hairspring without one dip solution?

 

Thanks for all feed back and advice.

I always used Ronsonol lighter fluid. I never liked that one dip solution.

You will need a small jar with a screw lid because it evaporates very quickly. After leaving it in for a few minutes, I would put it on a piece of tissue and use my watch blower to get rid of the access fluid.

I still wondering, how long can we dip the hairspring in this lighter fluid? Let it in fluid for too long does it release or break down the shellac of pallet jewel?

It is harmless with shellac. So you do not need to worry.
