Ioan, You can try media blasting. If you go with chemical removal, any kind of solvent splash from a directed stream would attack the coating outside of your rework area. Try a Crystal Mark Swamblaster and their wheat starch pellets, or CCRD with their coated plastic beads. You will not have fibers anymore, but you should be able to blow most of the dust off and rinse the rest off with water.

Right now we're using Q-tips to do the rubbing and, besides having to pluck tons of fibers afterwards, we're also going through a lot of Q-tips. So the question is: is there anything else we can use, that will be more effective, cleaner and more economical?
