I had soaked mine in cleaner (the now infamous PineSol dunk) for two days when I pulled them to clean them individually, too.
According to a post I found online (for whatever that may be worth), you can multiply the jet size by .0003937 to get the diameter in inches. So, for your 35 jet, it should be .014" I found some other jet sizes with their size in inches and did the math and the number above seems to be fairly close to some charts I found (none of them had a 35 jet, though, unfortunately). It seems to be accurate down to the thousandths, anyway.
