Give them a bath...obviously the inner circumference is the "working" surface...I pull most of the cotton off a q-tip, douse it with carb cleaner and spin it in there and treat ultrasonically. ummm, wipe clean the actual slide needle too...you want no "film"....the mixing holes and inside of the emulsion tube as well....these parts actually comprise a mixing chamber.

Also the air correction jet on the intake bell....which meters air into this main mixing chamber.

I use soda blast equipment for like-new surfaces (pic) These were brown-green before blast.

Sorry for run-on...could go on for hours re micro cleaning.

Thanks good info.
