Got the boards.  Thanks Tran.... Now the Adventure Begins.

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...

I was thinking about soaking the entire board in alcohol but I haven't found the time to work on it yet.

I picked my boards up from the post office yesterday.  Thanks Tran!

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.

99.9% isopropyl alcohol at Costco.May have to ask for it

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.

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?

Easiest I have found is acetone.

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.

I use lighter fluid.

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.

No board, no shipping number...... I hope to receive mine before 2014
