Mesh 'pots'?

[Cato]

Anyone know of a mesh pot or similar for containing small parts in an ultrasonic cleaner? Primarily the needles, jets etc from carbs but also the odds and sods of screws tabs brackets and the like. It's easy enough if you're doing one carb at a time, but I want something to separate the small parts when doing two or more at the same time.

I can make something up, but if there's something suitable I can order a few of it'll save the faff.

Ikea do/did mesh office clutter, waste paper bins, pencil holders and the like. ISTR the small ones looking useful

DRÖNJÖNS Pen cup, white We call it a pencil cup but this metal mesh container can be useful for many other things like holding make-up, hair supplies, hobby accessories and other small-sized items that need a home. Can be used anywhere in your home, even in damp areas like the bathroom.

Drop the bits in a ziplock bag full of your choice of cleaning fluid - you can then separate them by carburetttor or whatever?

They're a bit too shallow unfortunately.

Good thinking, mesh pen 'cups' would be perfect.

That'd be a handy back up idea, but it makes rinsing the bits awkward. A mesh cup/bowl means you can lift them out of the cleaner and give them a rinse without the danger of dropping bits.

Would these do? Quite big
Use them all the time.

A bit big for what I need as they need to fit into the tank with a bank of carbs.

Perfect. Which isn't really a surprise as it's exactly what they're designed for. Always worth asking on here as so many people are into so many things. I hadn't given horology a thought but it's obvious when you do.

I have aPlastic sieve, but Autoclave mesh containers are great if you can find any cheap https://ynrinstruments.co.uk/produc...1T-RhKBLKfN0WxICJdF2E033O5GWguuBoCfScQAvD_BwE
