How do you clean stencils?

I got my stencils from Ernie and am putting together my etcher. So, after I've used a stencil how do I clean it. I'm probably going to use the salt water like Ernie Swanson uses for the time being until I get the money to get some etching solution.

thanks,

Thanks. I had read his site but obviously missed that part.

Excited to start marking blades.

I also use the dish soap and fingers method. Another tip that I've found works if you're using q-tips: at the very end of your AC etch cycle, brush or rub the q-tip across the stencil a few times while the etcher is still on. It seems to clean it up quite a bit.

I use the dish soap and water routine as well, but I follow it up with one time through the ultrasonic cleaner to remove any little bits that were missed.

I've tried the stencil and it's working great. I'll try to get some pics later on.

Used the dish soap/finger tips method and seems to work fine.

Thanks to everyone.
