   Will Deoxit on a circuit board cause problems? In other words, is it   
   conductive if it's touching components?   
      
   I had to spray some switches that had a very tiny hole in a plastic   
   covering, so the Deoxit got all over the board. I removed most of it   
   with tissue paper, but there are traces of it beneath chips and other   
   components, which is difficult to remove. I have also used some Q-tips   
   to get rid of as much as I can, but I cant get all of it.   
      
   Will it evaporate over time? I wont be plugging this device in for at   
   least 24 hours.   
      
   Normally it's not this messy, but in this case there was no easy way to   
   get it into those switches, which badly needed to be cleaned. I wish   
   they would not seal switches like this. The old style switches with open   
   ends were so much easier to clean.
