Standard white distilled vinegar is 5% acetic acid and pretty mild. I've used it to remove oxidization from tools and metals and thinking it could be used on corroded circuit boards if used carefully and possibly diluted further. Just a quick scrub-down with a toothbrush and rinse off with water and then IPA. What do you folks think?

You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.
Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

MEK is nasty toxic stuff. They made us stop using it in the Navy back in 1972.Comment

Re: Anyone used vinegar to remove oxidization?
I dipped my hands in it several times a day in the shop. Used it to clean nozzles. May that explains some of the problems I've had among other things.Originally posted by SteveNielsen View PostComment
