Fibreglass doesn't melt easily :-)
I've put quite a few PCBs through our dishwasher (well it's "ours" when I
want to clean PCBs, and my wife's when it's dinner plates). It's amazing
how many useful pieces of equipment are disguised as domestic appliances:
the machine for cleaning keyboard keycaps and shell cases does an
excellent job of washing clothes, while the tumbling machine for drying
them off also works for socks and shirts. The device in the kitchen for
baking small spray-painted articles can be used for pizza and muffins. And
so on...
