It is definitely aggressive. You really need to clean the board often with hot water and a brush. I also keep isopropyl alcohol and a brush on my bench. I have had a few circuits come back to life after a good cleaning. Now I take a break every hour or so and clean. Also gives my eyes and back a break ;) (* jcl *) -- You can't create open hardware with closed EDA tools. http://www.luciani.org _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
