Re: What cleaner to use for preparing for TT

2004-07-29 by mikezcnc

Steve,

I tested that on new blanks from ebay and I used a scouring pad for 
dishes (the green plastic one) and dish soap. It stuck like a dream.

Few times in 90 deg directions. I know that old boards are more 
stubborn. I have a batch of old boards and they are best cleand using 
a palm sander first because of heavy oxidation and not compeltely 
flat copper. Hope it helps.  Miek
