This is exactly what I've resorted to doing! But its a lot of work compared to that spray thing.
Btw i've remembered what its called. it's 'Electra Instant Contact Cleaner'. Local product. It was something I blogged about back in '06! Now to look for it. thanks for all the sugg'ns. I think the air compressor solution is a bit much though. Some expensive bits might come off from the pressure. :) Gary On Mon, Mar 28, 2011 at 9:26 PM, Ron Bulaon <ron_bul...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > Using pencil head eraser to remove molds and other patina sa cards at memory > modules, always solve the problem for me. > > - > > Regards, > > Ron Bulaon > > > > ________________________________ > From: Gabriel H.
