Charles - excellent point - a vacuum with a small nozzle aided by brush would be better than my suggestion to blow it around outside! Plue we all have house hold vacs!

I've never liked to blow the dirt around. 73 de W3NU On 5/16/2011 8:56 AM, Kris Merschrod wrote: Jerry, my 2-cents' worth: I'd use non-chemical and non-mechanical approaches to the soot first, that is, use compressed air on it out in the open air. Then a soft, small paint brush, (The main thing is to get rid of as much as possible before making mud of it!) Then Q-tips with contact cleaner, Finally q-tips with De-Ox. These are more and more tedious stps, but I just can't see taking it all apart so that it will go into the dishwasher! I Guess that a carwash treatment followed by compresed air and then a steady flow of warm dry air might work, but that is all pretty radical.
