egay seems kinda ripe with it
local chemist? or maplins
not sure where else would use it tbh
for cleaning off tim?
i use meth spirit from b&q
I got some from a local chemist, they had to order it though.
About a £5 I think it was for a large bottle.
Yes, Local chemist every time :)
I find white spirit works better than Meths but it could be down to which compound you're using.Quote:

get the akasa timclean - lasts your lifetime, isnt very expensive, does the job well.
I got my timclean from pcworld.
Yup - had mine for eons now, and the bottle's still 2/3 full. It'll take away even the most stubbornly caked-on thermal compound. :)Quote:

There is no huge harm in using percentages below 100, 70% is probably the minimum relative concentration of Isopropanol you want. :crazy:
Alcohol works nicely too btw, in case you happen to know someone who makes their own.....
Isopropanol is a alcohol heh:DQuote:
