I am looking to speed up my handgun cleaning and so began investigating the options. I found the Cylinder and Slide Dunk-Kit (too expensive) and read about ultrasonic cleaning (too expensive for new units, I'll watch for a used one). In the meantime, I thought of this idea -- half fill a coffee can with BreakFree CLP, add gun (minus grips), cover, and set on my brass tumbler. It seems like this would get the CLP really vibrating in there.

Any reason not to try this -- would it work?
