Yep, too late but that is a great idea. I blasted them and then washed them in my kitchen sink yesterday. Sit them out in the sun all day today til it was about 65 degrees and hit them with epoxy. They are inside now to keep the epoxy above 60 degrees all night. I did hit them with my compressor air after washing and if I hit the gear mechanism at the right angle they would spin pretty fast. At that point I was satisfied they were quite clean.

SPI epoxy.
