| I'm trying to wash off some copper sheets I've soldered together with
lead-free solder. I used Oatley #95 lead free tinning flux and I tried
to wash it off with strong detergent but no luck. Does anyone know an
efficient way to wash this stuff off?
Thanks,
Jeff

MSDS indicates negligble solubility in water but base is 60-70%
petrolatum so I'd try a petroleum solvent on a rag. Might check on
www.oatey.com to see if any further information (btw, note there's no
"L" in "Oatey").

Pickup some flux stripper from your local electronics store or rubbing
alcohol.

| Carb cleaner. Mind it;s flammable and noxious so do it outdoors.

Acetone, your wife's nail polish remover, alcohol, most anything not
water based.

Gasoline (just a guess). Of course do it outdoors away from
flammables.
I wonder if that "Simple Green" would work. That stuff really cuts
grease. (another guess).
