Other than the core stack the first thing I do is the 120 lb air hose. It
cleans a lot of sins. At least lets you see what kind of mess you have.
(what was used for glue) Then Isopropyl, methanol, or some window cleaner
and a paint brush or soft well worn tooth brush and blasting it frequently
with air. Use an old towel to wipe the paint brush on to clean it between
strokes.
Be sure to wear safety glasses. Alcohol in the eyes is no fun.
