Hej Cynthia,

I have a roll that I bought for the intention to use in a yeat-to-be-built
modular. I never even thought of using it for chips, but can understand the
beaty of it...

Thou shall always lash thou chips before shipping!

(For clarity, think of what "shipping" actually means!)

Kinky lacing sounds really kinky... 

But before things get out of hand... dental floss sounds like an interesting
idea. I've never thought of that being usefull for electronics. You allways
pick up something.

Anybody used isopropanol when flossing? Should work great, but...
