Mike Thanks for answering.  IPA is isopropal alcohol, but I have to think too hard to try to spell that, and I saw someone else just writing IPA, so I helped push the bandwagon.
Does the rest of your anwser ("Originally ...") mean that now you:
1) rinse it with benzine and let it air dry,
2) wet a _cloth_ rag with benzine and wipe the board down,
3) douse it with benzine and burn off the film,
4) do something different, now?
thanks
Richard
