Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: PCB cleaning method

I have used Porcelain cleaner to remove tarnish from the pcb, I cant 
remember the active ingredients but it does work great !

btw I use this also when it comes to cleaning out the Heat Exchangers or 
Radiators that get that build up of calcium / lime deposits that seem to 
accumulate inside the Tubes ...
