Stupid question time?

Using IPA for the first time to clean PE before burnishing.

Do you apply with a brush or cotton bud or good old soak???

Ta very much, Bob

….and if you’re a cheapskate like me you can use meths….it does the same job. Just don’t drink it afterwards…..
In all serious, if you solder the etch together meths is actually pretty good at removing paste or resin flux.
