[R-390] Boom or Bust?

[Curt Nixon]

Hi Tom:

Do you just heat and soak, or are you running the Ultrsonic?  How 
durable are the varnished-over lettering and nomenclature on the things 
like RF cans, and geartrain frame plates?

I was think of using my Tank but was kind of affraid of having the 
lettering come off.  My is big enough to put the entire front end of the 
geartrain in at a once so this would be a nice "solution" to cleaning.

THanks
