Great job so far, Edward. Liking your work area. When you have your tubes it will be a thing of beauty! Pete's instructions are very clear and easy to follow to get a good result at the end. The IPA and toothbrush method is the one I prefer as IPA is readily available and gives a good result compared to Acetone which I find too aggressive as it can attack the solder mask. I worked in the PCB manufacturing industry for 10 years and we had probably one of the most dangerous to health solvents for stripping solder mask from reject boards, 1,1,1-Trichloroethane. I don't miss that smell at all! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
