[R-390] MFP Problem

[ToddRoberts2001 at aol.com]

I would recommend using a small modeler's paint brush and put a small dab  
of paint remover
over each MFP'd solder joint. Wait 10-20 minutes then clean each joint with 
 a Q-Tip moistened
in rubbing alcohol. The rubbing alcohol works best cleaning up  the paint 
remover residue. This
will leave you nice clean joints to solder. I also recommend using a small  
dab of paint remover
to strip enamel from wires before soldering like when winding toroids or  
stripping older litz wire
before soldering.

Listers,
This winter when I can get some  quality time with my radios, I have 
several for upgrading that were treated with  MFP.
In the far distant past when I had to un-solder a joint coated with MFP  it 
left a residue of uckempucky.
Does anyone have a method(s) of removing the  stuff from at least the 
solder joints?
I’d rather not, but will if I have  too, use carbon tet or MEK for a 
solvent even though I have a well ventilate  outdoor area which it could be done.
TIA
