Default Re: degreaser question

The wispy areas are pretty much scattered randomly around the parts and they almost look like an acid wash if that helps picture what I'm talking about. After the acid bath I usually spray down the parts well with distilled water in a garden spray bottle (the kind with the hand pump) and let them sit in a container of distilled water before going into dye. Also, if I rack with aluminum wire I use toothpicks and bamboo skewers wedged in a screw hole to help get a connection, but I worry about them absorbing acid during the anno process so I usually re-rack my parts before dye.

I'll see if I can get some pictures of my parts up.
