Improvise by holding a metal disk over an electronic balance and measuring the force of attraction. Calibrate it with a lower known voltage. cheers, Neville Michie > On 23 Mar 2018, at 12:58, Dr. David Kirkby <drkir...@kirkbymicrowave.co.uk> > wrote: > > On 23 March 2018 at

metals on the board that have been dissolved. So judicious use of a weak acid, like acetic acid, may be necessary to dissolve these deposits. After that plenty of demineralised water and a long drying period in front of a fan. cheers, Neville Michie
