Brian, I think my reply to Phil probably answers your question, but I will re-iterate. I have nothing against vapour phase and aqueous cleaners, my squirrelly little parts are the ones that don't like water. As far as vapour degreasers, will they really do the job for modern, low standoff components? I seem to recall Doug Pauls saying cleaning under these at the best of times was difficult, so I thought that a more physically aggressive system would be needed. Am I wrong? This old no-clean goat stands ready to be educated. regards, Bev -----Original Message----- From: Brian Ellis [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, July 28, 2000 1:50 PM To: TechNet E-Mail Forum.; Bev Christian Subject: Re: [TN] 100% Non-Aqueous Cleaners Bev What exactly are you trying to do? I don't really understand your question as very few non-vapour degreasing/non-aqueous systems will give very good results, IMHO (from experience). Are you willing to have highly flammable solvents or combustible ones: if the latter, how are you going to dry? What have you got against vapour phase and aqueous cleaners, which have both proved, in certain cases, to be acceptable or even good? In other words, are you not making a stick for your own back?
