Homebrew PCBs

Do not despair, check the vacuum tubing first of all, if it is well seated  
and not clogged.

About the 'environmentally friendly' Windex, don't do it, it might not  
contain ammonia but instead some other sh** you don't want. some plastics  
only get "melted" as you put it by stuff like acetone and laquer thinner,  
windex is known to be safe.

If the vacuum is fine do the head cleaning according to steve's  
instructions.

Everything you do will help me greatly because this model is a likely  
candidate for me. If you are not able to clean the head i would not want  
to risk the same problem, so thanks for giving it your best effort.
