''We keep 70% IPA (propan-2-ol aka Isopropyl alcohol, isopropanol, 2-propanol) available for 'spot' board cleaning. You will find a small spray bottle and a small squeeze bottle on the bench, or more likely on the 3DP bench. They occasionally migrate to the Laser Cutter room! If you require large quantities of IPA or more effective flux removers its up to you to provide them, and safely dispose of waste solvent.'' ===Bench Power Supply=== ===Bench Power Supply=== Line 225: Line 227: * [https://www.newark.com/pdfs/techarticles/oki-metcal/extendingTipLife.pdf Extending Soldering Iron Tip Life] - Technote from OKi detailing how and why soldering iron tips and integrated heater cartridge tips fail, and how to avoid failure. * [https://www.newark.com/pdfs/techarticles/oki-metcal/extendingTipLife.pdf Extending Soldering Iron Tip Life] - Technote from OKi detailing how and why soldering iron tips and integrated heater cartridge tips fail, and how to avoid failure. ===Cleanup=== * https://www.chemtronics.com/ultimate-guide-to-cleaning-electronics - PCB cleaning after soldering. ===Building Prototype Circuits=== ===Building Prototype Circuits===
