Cleaning carbide dies?

10 minutes in my ultrasonic cleaner with acetone. no work. no fuss. fast evaporation.

Careful with those flammable liquids in an ultrasonic. I was told it can be very dangerous

I meant mineral oil. I have two jugs almost identical in shape next to each other. and I looked at it while posting my last comment; freudian slip as they say.

I use brake cleaner for a quick cleaning. Enough to flush out any debri and dries fast. But once a year, I break down the dies and do a thorough cleaning. I use a bronze or brass brush to remove any light rust that may have formed on the outside. Followed by a spritz of WD40. I use disposable gloves any to keep sweat and oil out of the dies and reduces any chance of it rusting while loading.

nice to see people using wd40..
