John,

Have you tried anything yet? As a first pass I would try something petroleum
based to clean. I know this has worked for me in the past.

Subject: [time-nuts] Removing thermal tape residue?

Is there a recommended way to remove the residue of what I presume was
thermal tape on the heatsinks of my various telco Rb units?  It's a slightly
tacky light greenish layer.  I'm guessing that for a permanent installation
one would want to remove that residue, smooth the surface, and replace with
new material for best thermal transfer to the heatsink.

John
