Gage Removal and Cleaning

1. After soldering has been completed, thoroughly flood the gage and tape area with several brush applications of RSK Rosin Solvent .
    
2. Work the solvent brush around solder areas and under tape. Do not try to lift gage/leadwire assembly until rosin solvent has loosened tape from gage face.
    
3. Lift gage assembly by the leadwires and dip into a container of clean rosin solvent. Scrub the solder connections and gage face with brush provided with the rosin solvent.
    
4. Remove assembly from rosin solvent and blot dry between layers of gauze sponges . Use caution not to snag gauze on gage backing or solder connections.
    
5. Place gage on a clean work surface with the bonding surface exposed. Wipe with a cotton applicator slightly moistened with Neutralizer 5A . Rolling the cotton applicator as you wipe will improve cleansing. Allow to air dry 5 minutes.
    
6. Slip cleaned gage into acetate folder and tape shut. This will minimize contamination and provide lead support until ready for installation.
