Cleaning up re-soldered boards (nonspecific game question)
I wasn't quite sure where to put this question, but i know the amount of detail some of the restore people go to so i figure this is good as any.
I recently re-soldered all the components on an WG monitor board. That fixed the problem, but now on the backside the board looks like crap. Between the flux in the solder and burning off whatever they coat the board with makes it look messy. I know you can't see it when it is all together, but i know its there.
So, what were the boards originally coated with? I'm guessing lacquer. If so i guess the black stuff would probably wipe off with lacquer thinner.
I would like to re-coat the back of the board as well, so once again, if it's lacquer that would be easy enough. Anyone here do that? What did you use?
