Re: Plan to deep cleaning my gear

 

I use the citrus based Goo Gone to remove most labels. The citrus oil is very thin, and it evaporates. I have even used ot to remove price tags from paperback books. A few drops on a cotton ball, and let it sit for a few minutes to soften the adhesive, then carefully peel off the label. The older the label, the longer it needs to soak. As far as books or other printed mater, don't rub the surface, or you can remove the ink. I have used over a half gallon of it, so far. I also use it to remove inventory labels from surplus reels of SMD components, to expose the EM labels.

Thank a lot for all your inputs guys! My instruments work very well for their age. I just wanted to make them great again:)

After reading your posts, I figured I will stay away from using any liquid or solvent for PCB cleaning. I would just use electronics grade gas duster to blow dust off the surface of the boards. Or a small vacuum and a high quality horse hair brush would work better?

I was under impression that excessive dust would pick up moisture that would damage my equipments. Is that true?


For some very old and dry sticker residue on the front panel, how should I safely remove them? I have Goo Gone but don't know if it's safe for instrument. It's kind of oily.


Thanks again!
Calvin
