[Coco] Cross Post from the Facebook Page about the RGB2VGA Board

I agree with you Ed on the Isopropyl Alcohol. It's cheap, it's very safe to use, it doesn't eat up materials it gets the job done, and it dries very fast. I was using compressed air to blow off boards after I cleaned with it, but I bought a small blower is stronger than the compressed air so no more freezing cans and blowing  refrigerant into the air. Alcohol dries up real fast using that thing :)

What I do is submerge the boards in the iso in a small tupperware type container, soak for 10 minutes or so, brush them with a toothbrush while in the bath, then rinse with fresh iso and air dry. Be sure to use the 91%, the lower concentrations have too much water in them.  It’s available at drug stores, walmart, etc.

Back in the innocent days of hazardous chemicals, flux remover actually <gasp> removed flux without much fuss.  But, tri-chlor and the like are not real nice substances to be around so I welcome a working alternative.
