Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: removing toner?

For removing Toner Resist from PCB's, I like "Brake Cleaner" from the auto
parts store (easy to find and cheep), it has several solvents (the good
stuff) in it and has a handy spray tube so that you get a wash-down
action. Note: it is not a good cleaner after part are loaded as it will
dissolve many plastics. I use alcohol for cleaning loaded PCB's.

I do not like solvent with a towel, because dissolved Towner is pushed into
and on the substrate, which requires just more cleaning - it you have "done
that", you know what I mean.

Regards,
Eldon Brown
