Suppressors the dip, what type of container?

[corey4]

the dip, what type of container? can i just use one of those 16oz plastic party cups? or do i have to do it in a glass or stainless steel container?

how long do i let it sit for?

what do i use to clean the baffle stack free from the lead acetate residue?

can is a SS sparrow, and no, i wont be dipping the tube, just the baffle stack and the 2 cover clam shell things.

thanks.

I put mine in a glass mason jar and let it sit overnight. I rinse with water and wipe surface of metal with frog lube afterwards, have yet to have an issue doing it this way. I wouldn't use a plastic cup personally, the dip is pretty nasty stuff.

Acetic acid (5%) and peroxide (2%) won't eat through plastic at the consumer available concentrations. However, Solo cups are not the thickest material. I use an old Glad or Ziploc sandwich container. When in doubt using glass is always safe except for anything that has Fluoride and an acid.

I use plastic graduated cylinders - tall and skinny. Perfect for conserving the amount of chemicals that you use.

If you can disassemble your suppressor, let me recommend something easier and less toxic that works. If you clean your brass with ss media, take your stack of baffles and throw them in the tumbler for about 15 minutes. It will significantly clean everything, and you won't have to worry about lead acetate. I have done this with the baffles in my 338 shark can, and it frees a ton of the caked on carbon. I'm sure it will work with lead as well.

Rinse everything with water.

I use a tall, skinny glass jar that olives came in. It's the perfect size for .22 suppressors.
