Exactly what I need for that stuff clean up.
:-)
UPDATE: got around to destink that Mac II. Started on PSU as a
experiment. Went very well tore it apart to bits, scrubbed all the
PSU parts except PSU boards at first with windex. Later on
suggested isopropanol alcohol 99% which I have besides me nearly full
and potent. Far better stuff than windex less residues and more
pleasent smell than windex and cheap!
Took the PSU board to the kitchen sink and drenched it with nearly
whole bottle of it slowly. That got most of the stink out but the
unwanted bits still there doesn't go away. Wow, PSU looks new
again and far less stink, very faint at that now.
But I still have deal with this Mac II case... keep your comments
coming! That case is worst, it has tin sheet covering 90% of
cavities so my only option is drenching it with something more
effective than this isopropanol and leave no residues if I have to
follow it up with isopropanol rinse. (important!)
I might have to eat all the plastic mushrooms off then pull the tin
sheets and do old fashioned soap scrub, water rinse then isopropanol
scrub 'n rinse to dry up water faster. Then reinstall the tin sheets
and find a way to fasten it down.
Hey, I love the stinky gory stories that was very informative.
Cheers,
Wizard
