[Boatanchors] CLEANING NICOTINE

Be careful!  I lost an HX-50 panel in attempting to remove nicotine with 
soft soap and warm water.  A piece of paint, possibly "conditioned" by 
reaction with the nicotine (or perhaps a paint flaw from the factory) came 
off and I was into an expensive refinishing of the whole panel.  Inspect the 
panel very carefully to make sure there are no cracks....even very small 
ones...before you begin.  I have never used those foaming cleansers as I 
have been too afraid of causing damage.  But I suppose if one is 
careful.....
