Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Cleaning Circuit Boards

I'd recommend vacuumn instead of blast. Way back in '75 when I was working
with electronics, I learned....and "relearned" it again recently in computer
school...that using an air blast can imbed minute particles in the circuit
board(s), possibly causing all kinds of problems that you'd never be able to
find.

with the advent of today micro electronics, I'd suspect the problem would be
even worse now.
