September 1, 201312 yr Boards arrived here in Florida. Thank you Tran. I am truly appreciative of your efforts.
September 6, 201312 yr My boards arrived today after going from Vietnam to New York and then back to California Thanks a lot to Kevin, Birgir and Thuan!
September 8, 201312 yr Anyone have any quick tips for cleaning all the packing tape glue off the boards? With some work alcohol worked on small patches but some boards are covered, so looking for alternatives...
September 8, 201312 yr I was thinking about soaking the entire board in alcohol but I haven't found the time to work on it yet.
September 8, 201312 yr So i just got done cleaning one board. I used a shallow tray that was large enough for the board and soaked it in alcohol for a bit. It works pretty well.
September 8, 201312 yr 99.9% isopropyl alcohol at Costco.May have to ask for it Edited September 9, 201312 yr by eggil
September 9, 201312 yr I received the boards, thanks Tran! glue, I use WD-40 (or some other type of light oil). Glue comes right off of many surface types when oil is applied. Then clean off the oil with alcohol. I use denatured alcohol, though most people use "rubbing" alcohol.
September 9, 201312 yr Had heard of oil before (and WD-40 in particular) for packing tape glue, but was worried about thoroughly cleaning the through-holes after. So no problems on that front?
September 9, 201312 yr I have a couple jugs of acetone so will try that out - I mainly use it for cleaning my bike rims, never thought to try it for this.
September 11, 201312 yr Had heard of oil before (and WD-40 in particular) for packing tape glue, but was worried about thoroughly cleaning the through-holes after. So no problems on that front? Should not be a problem when you soak the entire PCB in solvent. I use WD-40 to remove all sorts of glue-ish stuff, like stickers, residue, and decals. It makes very short work of that stuff. You can even use it to remove registration stickers on your license plate. Glue residue doesn't like oil. Here's a video I found on youtube just now. The acetone should work too.
September 12, 201312 yr No board, no shipping number...... I hope to receive mine before 2014 Edited September 12, 201312 yr by charlo89
