That's quite a clever idea! I would try it. Caveat is that I had a so-so experience with the cheaper ultrasonic cleaners - they just didn't have the oomph, which is why I finally invested in the big one with the heater. But it might work OK with enough time, and it can't possibly hurt. It would make for a great video!
