[sdiy] using aceton to "wash" leaked acid from a PCB

[James Patchell]

It probably is...I have washed boards in MEK....however....acid (well, 
actually NiCads are alkaline, but the same difference) is not soluable in 
accetone, or MEK for that matter....scrub it off with soap and water....use 
a tooth brush (not the one you use to brush your teeth)...

Do a final rinse with purified water (I use the water out of my RO unit for 
this), and if you have compressed air, blow dry the board...
