QUIB'S ODORLESS MINERAL SPIRITS/CLP BOLT CLEANING PROCEDURE

[mdashoot]

what section of walmart has the screen? I cant find one.

[Quib]

Try the Kitchen Department. The screen is a kitchen drawer organizer.

[mdashoot]

thats where I looked first but the only ones I seen were sectioned

[Quib]

Maybe try the Office/School Supply Department, or another WalMart store nearby.

The screen is certainly not necessary, but it does make the job much easier.

I will try other locations/online, thanks for the help

[Quib]

Not a problem, glad to help. Good luck with your search.

Don't mean to resurrect an old post but I'm looking to do a setup like this for my cleaning. I've found a bunch of different wire mesh organizers that are a good shape/size, but they're all epoxy coated. Is that going to be an issue? Should I soak them in something to remove the coating 1st or should the OMS/CLP mix not have any effect on the coating?

[Quib]

Not a problem, that is what this thread is for!

OMS is a very mild solvent. As I point out in my tutorial, I've used it for years to wash down aircraft powerplants and airframe parts with no damage to painted surfaces. I would venture to guess that it would not affect the finish on your basket. But, to be on the safe side, try dipping one corner just to be sure.

The basket you see in my tutorial (and above) is painted. I've been using it for a few years now with no affect to its finish.

[Sessrumnir]

Sounds good to me. My worry is less for the basket and more for some kind of paint or epoxy liquefying and getting all over the BCG.

[Quib]

You can always forgo the basket, and just drop the parts directly in your tray. I did this before I started using the basket, and fished the parts out with surgeons forceps.

FYI, I found several different-sized wire basket thingies at a Bed Bath & Beyond store, but I'll be gosh-danged if I can find ANYTHING similar ANYWHERE online. The two wire baskets/trays I purchased are about 2" x 4", and then maybe 2" x 8". I acquired the 2" x 8" thinking it could contain the carrier and all the bolt components, but the 8" basket/tray is too long to sit flat inside the Anchor Hocking 8" x 8" baking dish that I use for the cleaning vessel. The Anchor Hocking baking dish I use was purchased at BB&B, also, and is this dish https://www.anchoronline.com/bake/ov...cake-dish.html but it came with a plastic lid that snaps on tight. If I remember correctly, the dish/lid combo was on sale for under $5.00. The lid is nice for 'securing' the vessel when I want to let things soak, or if I need to move the cleaning/soaking operation around while in progress (I have a small work area). I do not store my Quib's Cleaning Solution in the 8" x 8" dish.


Thanks, Quib, for taking the time to put your cleaning process together. It works well for me!
