Needle Flux Dispenser
I have a 0.5mm needle flux dispenser which has become completely gunged up - left the top off by mistake!
 What's the best thing to use to clean it out - tried IPA but no success?

Re: Needle Flux Dispenser
I recall a DIY ultrasonic cleaning bath project in one of the hobby magazines where they said it had sucessfully unblocked a dried up 0.1mm Rotring drawing pen nib.

Re: Needle Flux Dispenser
Stick with the IPA - it's the solvent for the flux. Overnight?
