Re: Unclogging 1400 with Carbon 6

2012-01-21 by Paul

I use Windex, which is probably not much more than water, a wetting agent and a bit of ammonia.  So, since you mix the base, you could probably do the same thing with it and a bit of ammonia on the parking pad over night.  

Be sure it's a clog and not an empty cartridge.
