Cleaning up

After all that soldering we need to clean up the areas that have come into contact with flux. Not only the Fluxite that I use as an extra, but also that contained in Multicore solder. I use Fluxite because it aids soldering and I like to align the joint and add the solder from the hot tip of the iron, not applying the multicore and relying on its own flux.
When all this is done and its cooled down the cleaning begins. I use Shiny Sinks, obtained from my local Discount Store, InExcess, a slightly abrasive liquid, if its good enough for a stainless steel sink-then its good enough for me!. It cleans and leaves the surface ready for undercoating.
Rinse well and the surface is bright and free of any flux residue. Blot with kitchen roll and leave in a warm place for a short while and its ready for adding those last minute detailing parts.
I have a supply of old toothbrushes for getting to those difficult to access places, good excuse for a new brush for what its intended.
