Agreed, people take some of these solvents much too lightly. I wouldn't mess with methylene chloride without my respirator, face shield + goggles, and heavy neoprene chemical gloves (said the former ChemE student).Originally posted by: Macro2

Cringes at the idea of oil heating up to 50C+ :Q
Everclear 151 and a razor blade are 2 things you should never use together! Can you imagine how bad you'd bleed out with that stuff in you if you cut yourself with the razor? Oh wait, you aren't drinking it? wasteful and shameful!Originally posted by: ElFenix
razor blade and alcohol. i like to use everclear myself.
Ya that's why it's refered to as the universal solvent.Originally posted by: mechBgon
I removed one yesterday, starting with an old credit card to scrape off as much as possible. Then I tried rubbing alcohol, but ended up using (get this) hot water, dish detergent, and a Brillo pad. *shrug* whatever works, eh?![]()
which part of using emery cloth to lap surface you missedOriginally posted by: Macro2
Using a razor blade on a copper heatsink is just asking for trouble. Why risk damaging/gouging the surface?
Drinking everclear (ethanol) might make it worse. <G>

Scrap,
Nipping the everclear again I see...<G>
