AP time reducer?

[Woodworker1997]

Would the use of a ultra sonic bath aid in removing foils from fingers during the AP process?
I'm not saying to create the reaction in the machine just simply submerging the bottom 1/3rd of the mason jar.

Waste of time or time saver?

Thanks, Derek

heat speeds the reaction. if you force the foils loose, it will also force copper loose. you want the copper completely dissolved. agitation helps loosen foils but im not sure that constant agitation is the way to go.

besides, constant agitation will break the foils up into finely divided flakes making it hard to retrieve them all.
