Morning all.
Run into this fun bit on a voltage inverter - this is a soft-ish rubber epoxy. It cuts/chips away, but I'm not sure the return will be worth the energy.
It doesn't melt very well either.
Does anybody have any good tips on efficiently removing this type of epoxy from boards, and would there be something worth spending that energy to expose the circuit boards?
Can try to get more pictures up, even a short video, if required.
Thanks!
I ran into something similar but after a few minutes threw it in with my shred.
that doesnt look like a high grade board- not worth it unless u have a LOT- then u should try to remove it
The good 'ol "Maybe next year pile"
Might try putting the whole thing in the furnace and seeing what happens.... :|
Theres a clear soft & very sticky silicon sealant type goo on Sanken type power amplifiers.
I wanted to get the Silver wires off them to save them up.
I found that boiling them in Turpentine for a while, then letting them dry out, the previously near unchanged goo decided to dry out into a fraction of its size, go crumbly and i could chip/brush/pick it off the board & the wires.
Turned out for a couple of hours work, i got 68 cents worth of Silver...
But, well i dont think those boards are High grade & productive to work on, try boiling the 'pot' ( electrical trade term, short for 'potting' a circuit board, potted circuitboard in Turps & see if it dissolves at all.
Or, once dried out afterwards, see what it does.
I think some 'pottage' has got glassfibre in it.
The first example of potting that i found was a red silicon rubber sort, on Xerox photocopiers.
