[Elecraft] K2 - Cleaning a completed PC board

[myles landstein]

I don't use   alcohol  ,  I use  specific  PCB safe cleaners.

Digi Key  ,  Mouser etc etc  sell cleaners 'safe'  for  various types  of  boards .   

Some I've  used in the  past  are made  by  Chemtronics

Always  make sure  what ever your using isn't  going to  react  with  the parts   or   the plastic   ,  always   test  a  tiny drop   in a  safe  area


Also  a good idea  to have  some  compressed  air to both  clean  and  dryout things....

Lastly make sure when you are  spraying or wiping  air or  chemicals  that  you are  ESD  safe


good luck
