Post first build questions

How about a ShamWow? As much as I hate to say it, I want to get one of those things.

In the mean time, an old t-shirt and compressed air works well.

I use these things called "Aerospace wipes" that I bought from Boeing Surplus years ago. It's made by Kimberly-Clark (who make the "kim wipes"). So my vote is for kimwipes if you can get them, lint free, small, etc.

I just bought 3800 wiping cloths from Boeing Surplus for $30, but when I picked them up it turns out they're more like gauze pads. They'll be handy, but not sure they'll work for this kind of stuff, I'll see.

I'm using isopropyl alcohol and an old pair of grandad's pyjama's - cotton with a bit of polyester. This is what I'm doing.

Sit the rag inbetween your finger and thumb, then slide the edge set through the cloth with the teeth facing away from the rag. Keep the rag reasonably damp and add pressure, but not so much that you are endlessly catching the teeth. They are clean enough when a fresh piece of rag stays clean.

Yeah this and then I use some air to blow off other fibers left behind.

I just use shop towels like heavy paper towels.
