I did a search and found a few threads, but I'm having kind of a hard time getting all the tar off the underside of the relay board to a clean surface.
I was able to chip a lot out. Then I tried a heat gun which really just turned it into goo -- didn't make it easier to remove. Then i soaked it in mineral spirits, which kind of gummed it up...I was hoping it would dissolve it. How can I get the underside pristine? Other chemicals (isopropyl alcohol)? Some kind of media blast? |
