With emery cloth? --- End quote --- If you mean the marking blue, I use IsoPropyl Alcohol ( IPA ). You can get it from Maplin in a spray can. http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=28994 You won't need much - even the small can will go a long way. Spray on and wipe off with tissue, paper towel, etc. Also works spraying some on the tissue, then wiping. You can also use it to "re-wet" the blue that hardens on the brush. Emery cloth will mark the surface. IPA and tissue won't. :thumbup: IPA will also remove "Sharpie" ink... |

Well No1_sonuk .. you must be flush with cash to use Maplin £7.49 for 400ml :bugeye: Little wonder they have it 'in stock', as far as I'm concerned, they can keep it there. http://www.rapidonline.com/Tools-Fasteners-Production-Equipment/Service-Aids/Cleansers-Solvents/Isopropyl-IPA-cleaning-solvent/61590 Or a bit less from above.. needs 15% vat on it tho .. P&P requirements about same As an aside, knowing their prices, do anyone use Maplin now? I stopped about 12 yrs ago. Dave BC |

Dave, :offtopic: I occasionally use maplin for bits and pieces. Just because they have a shop you can go into, and for resisters and stuff it makes little difference whether it's 3 p or 30p if you're just getting 1 or 2! The last things I got were a few ceramic resisters to replace the wire wound ones in the wifes heater fan controls. Also, I bought a timer circuit kit for about £8 which I wired through relays and all the rest of it to keep the anti perc fan switched on for a set time after I switched engine off on Renault 5 turbo! It worked a treat and it was great fun soldering the circuit together and getting it to work .. took me back to my youth! I know what you mean though, my dad used to be a technology teacher and they always used rapid electronics. Remember one of my christmas presents about 15 years ago when I was 14 was one of those sets of little drawers full of electronic components from Rapid electronics along with a few bits of strip board! Was one of the best presents ever! Still got most of it in the same little drawers! Had a few hobbies down the years! Nick |
