Would it be OK to use vodka to remove TIM?

I always use vodka a wee dab of petrol works complete wonders you just have to make sure once done it is completely clean or else it could go up in smokes lol

It went a bit like that when my mate came round and I was cleaning some TIM off of a graphics card. He looked extremely concerned, because as far as he knew, I use brake cleaner to clean off TIM

What about residue when the alcohol dries?

I tend to just use a tissue and nothing else needed, wouldnt be too happy using oil based solvents tho.

You still need to buy ocUK energy drink to complete the ansamble.
