What's better than canned air?

Careful ! Compressed air is dry and in a dry environment the blowing action quickly generates a static charge. Most CC equipment is particularly sensitive to static damage. I prefer warm water and a brush -- sometimes with mild dishwashing soap. -Rob -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-admin(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-admin@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Jochen Kunz Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 6:47 AM To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Subject: Re: What's better than canned air?

Some compressors need oil to run and are "contaminating" the air with it. Somtimes there are litle extra devices on the compressor to put a bit of oil into the air. Air driven machines need it. But it is not good for electronics. - Sometimes warm water and a brush to "simulate" a dishwasher. See the endless dishwasher discussion. Soak PCBs after washing in Isoprop and let it dry for some days. -- tsch??, Jochen Homepage: http://www.unixag-kl.fh-kl.de/~jkunz/
