> Thanks for the suggestion guys - I thought a dishwasher would be too harsh
of an environment, but I guess not! I have an air compressor, so I guess I
could give it a good thorough blow-drying afterwards. I may try a can of
that spray someone suggested too, though. Just to compare the differences. I
have alot of boards to clean now!

Not if you use the spray I mentioned.

Guess that for a dish-washer that could be a good idea to avoid any water
from being trapped underneath
