[Elecraft] K2 Cleaning PCB

[Ted Buckley]

Hey Jerry,
Don't know for sure about "Dry Gas" as such, but I suspect a better deal 
would be a bottle of  91% isopropyl alcohol from your local pharmacy.   The 
only ingredient other than alcohol in this stuff is water.  Generic stuff 
tends to be less expensive than botique stuff!  Avoid the methanol version 
of Dry Gas; some plastics are attacked by methyl alcohol.
