Hmm... sure is a lot more complicated that the old days where we grabbed a bottle of Trichloroethylene and an acid brush and went to the sink and washed it all off... In fact we made a degreaser using Trichlor and it worked great! Took off the toughest flux residues... Too bad it's outlawed now... Or MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) worked pretty good too. Ahhh.. the good ol' days...

Use an electronic sonic tooth-brush going through a flux-cleaning solvent cycle, then, windex cycle, then, hot water cycle, then back to windex. Windex was chosen since it completely evapourates & take any water with it. This was the only way I could completely remove any electrical effect left by the no-clean flux. Note that I was measuring effect in the micro-amp & nano-amp regions where battery powered circuits, eg-32Khz oscilators, super-low powered radio recievers, have a measurable effect. ______________________ Brian Guralnick Vergent Technologies Inc. 438 Brahms Ave. Dollard Des Ormeaux Quebec, Canada H9G 2S6 (514) 624-4003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________________________________________________ You are subscribed to the PEDA discussion forum To Post messages: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe and Other Options: http://techservinc.com/mailman/listinfo/peda_techservinc.com Browse or Search Old Archives (2001-2004): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] Browse or Search Current Archives (2004-Current): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
