Is it really possible?

[brojoh2]

I use acetone to clean AS off the slug, or die, on the CPU, and of course it gets on the surrounding ceramic, which I also clean with acetone. But it never comes really clean - there's always some residual "cloudiness" there.

Am I just not sticking with it long enough? Not changing to clean cloth enough? Do you get ALL traces of AS off your CPU? What am I missing, or doing wrong here?

Any help and/or assistance will be appreciated. Thanx.

I usually cant get it all off there either. Just get as much as you can and you'll be ok.

If you want the whole CPU pristeen, try some Extra Strength Flux Remover, like GC 19-270. You can get it from any of the electronics supply houses.

Also what works realy great is "GOOF OFF" the ultimate remover, I used it yesterday when I re-lap'd my HS. I got mine @ Home Depot.
