kimwipes

[toga]

ok so i have a question that may be n00bish.

does anyone use kimwipes + isopropanol to remove thermal compound? or, do you guys just use a paper towel? i would imagine that something which is lint-free would be best.

I have always used q-tips (ie: cotton swab on a stick). Dip the tip in isopropanol, and you're good to go. I've never had any debris come off the q-tip, since it's tightly packed to start with. They're also probably going to be cheaper than Kim wipes.

Cotton swabs and acetone (NOT nail polish remover) for me.

409 and a rag =)

gasoline and toilet paper

no, not really. rubbing alcohol and q-tips or paper towel for me. Kimwipes would work just as well.

coffee filters are another low-lint solution.
