Solvent for Oatley #95 tinning flux?

[sailoronthesea]

I'm trying to wash off some copper sheets I've soldered together with lead-free solder. I used Oatley #95 lead free tinning flux and I tried to wash it off with strong detergent but no luck. Does anyone know an efficient way to wash this stuff off?

Thanks, Jeff

MSDS indicates negligble solubility in water but base is 60-70% petrolatum so I'd try a petroleum solvent on a rag. Might check on

to see if any further information (btw, note there's no "L" in "Oatey").

Pickup some flux stripper from your local electronics store or rubbing alcohol.

Acetone, your wife's nail polish remover, alcohol, most anything not water based.

Gasoline (just a guess). Of course do it outdoors away from flammables.

I wonder if that "Simple Green" would work. That stuff really cuts grease. (another guess).
