Hans,

I believe that Mike is referring to EC-7M by Petroferm. Not only is it s
good board cleaner, but it will remove adhesive residue. You get it packaged
in the MicroCare, which would be the best application. MicroCare's website
is: http://www.microcare.com/. Some of their other cleaning solvents may
work as well, but from personal experience, EC-7M will remove adhesives.

A word of caution. It does have a heavy smell (it's made from orange peels
and is concentrated) and some operators will be sensitive to it.

Hans, you should find that a terpineol based flux remover (the ones
that smell
of oranges or pine) will work excellently on sticky labels. White
spirit (paint thinner) should also be OK but at a reduced rate.
