I use Lysol® Brand Bathroom Cleaner with Citric Acid as the active ingrediant. It is pretty caustic. I switched to that when my wife was pregnant, not as nasty as chlorine bleach (or the gallon of murriatic acid I have) but ventilation is a must.
Or, go to the pharmacy and get some powdered citric acid and mix with water (wear personal protective equipment: goggles, gloves, etc). Citric Acicd is supposedly pretty good for PC-Board etching...have to try it some time. --- On Wed, 7/23/08, skipp025 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: skipp025 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: How to remove Scotch Kote > To: [email protected] > Date: Wednesday, July 23, 2008, 8:50 AM > I've tried a fair number of of orange citrus cleaning > compounds.
