    You're not alone. My ultrasonic tank has a fitted heavy plastic lid
    to keep the solution from evaporating between uses. One time I did a
    flask burn-out (always done overnight so I can avoid the fumes). When
    the casting and cleanup was all done I went to cover the ultrasonic.
    I found the plastic lid on top of the kiln with a perfectly round
    scorched hole through it right where it was over the kiln's vent
    hole. It's not quite as useful to prevent evaporation now, but it's a
    great reminder not to set anything on top of the kiln again.
