Removing resist after etching

[sixstring396]

Hey everyone, just one quick question.  What is the best way to remove the resist left after etching a circuit board?  Thanks.

I use Scotch Brite and elbow grease. Works every time!

Acetone and an old toothbrush worked well for me.

Nail polish remover works well too (acetone active ingredient) but is not as concentrated. I've used it because more concentrated sources of acetone are not as available.

I'll second the acetone suggestion.  It's still commonly sold at hardware stores in the states.

I use the "Goof Off" paint and glue remover stuff.

I used acetone just the last time i used it, i just dropped it in and the resist disappeared, it was on photoresist boards though

Ajax + water + scourer + a lil' rubbing works for me.

Acetone melts it in just a few seconds. Start in the middle of the board and wipe side to side quickly to the edge. Then repeat for the other half. This minimizes the amount of staining on the backing material.

I use steel wool. I find it faster than acetone.
