Re: PCB cleaning method

2004-11-04 by RMustakos

After much thinking for an old brain, I remember that we used something 
like this (sometimes instead of  Brasso) to clean the brass for our 
uniforms.  I guess that begs the question if whether anyone has tried 
Brasso for cleaning copper clad?  I know it gets brass down to the bare 
metal pretty quickly.  As I remember, so does the stuff like this we 
used to use, but I thinks the stuff on the pads left more of a film than 
the brasso, but was _much_ easier to use.  Brasso required a little 
elbow grease, and this stuff just stripped the tarnish away, but like I 
said, left more of a film.  Of course, this is 20+ year old data, 
scrounged out after 20 years from a less than reliable source (my brain, 
or what passes for it these days).
