<DIV><SPAN class=499314622-20062005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I started building
my tb3031 on the weekend and noticed in the notes the suggestion that you wash
the pcb every hour, i'v often wondered about the need to do it but hoped someone
could fill me in on some things such as </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=499314622-20062005><FONT face=Arial size=2>- is distilled water
ok or do you need to use one of these formulas i've heard
of?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=499314622-20062005><FONT face=Arial size=2>- is it really
necessary to wash every hour</FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=499314622-20062005><FONT
face=Arial size=2>? if not how often?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=499314622-20062005><FONT face=Arial size=2>- i've read its cool
to wash everything apart from IC's including resistors, all capacitor types and
diodes etc. is there anything i shouldnt get wet?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=499314622-20062005><FONT face=Arial size=2>- the tb3031 manual
suggests using a soft toothbrysh etc to clean the board is that
safe?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=499314622-20062005><FONT face=Arial size=2>- is the purpose
just to remove the flux thats left after soldering and what happens if you dont
wash it off? or are there other reasons?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=499314622-20062005><FONT face=Arial size=2>- and finally the
tb3031 is a bigger project do i need to do this for smaller pcbs like ken stones
etc?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
