Hi guys
Another little problem lol
I need something to remove flux etc from PCBs after rework. I normally use IPA for this, when I am in the UK.
But I spend most of my time in Gran Canaria now where I am doing some repair work and hopefully setting up a new workshop soon. Now the problem is with IPA... I can't bring it with me on the plane in hand luggage and flammable liquids are banned in hold luggage too.
Getting specialised items like that is not so easy on a small island - So does anyone know of some substitute that would be available in a general hardware store, or Ferreteria as they are called here?
I have the same problem with Switch Contact Cleaner and Freezer spray as pressurised containers are also a no-no on the planes
I've tried Absolute Vodka and it kinda works as a flux cleaner but it is too 'wet' and I wouldn't like to power up a board afterwards until the next day, though putting it out in the sun here would dry it pretty rapido.... and sunshine is something we have in abundance!! Anyway, the missus says that is a waste of damn good vodka!

Any ideas?
