Homebrew PCBs

Thanks for the suggestion guys - I thought a dishwasher would be too harsh of an environment, but I guess not!  I have an air compressor, so I guess I could give it a good thorough blow-drying afterwards.  I may try a can of that spray someone suggested too, though.  Just to compare the differences.  I have alot of boards to clean now!

One more question - would I have to remove socketed chips beforehand?

Thanks again,
Scott


A kitchen dish-washing machine would suit your needs. Just give it a 

good cold water rinse after the cycle is done (before it has dried). If 

you have a fan forced electric oven capable of 80C~90C temperature 

setting then throw it in there for 0.5 hours.

The mild alkalinity of machine dish-washer cleaners won't harm solder, 

copper or gold surfaces.
