Battery Acid
With the discontinued production of Micro RC's, the delima of opening a new Micro only to find the battery has corroded the contacts in the chassis is eminent and with become more frequent.
In the past I have used sand paper and emery boards, but sometimes the corrosion will creep down to the charging contacts where sand paper will not do a thorough job of removal.
What solvent would you Pimps recommend to clean a chassis that has suffered this problem ?
Thanx !

I've heard (but never tried) that a product in the photo industry called Stop Bath will clean corrosion. It is normally used to stop the developer solution the paper goes into after exposing to film/light from enlarger.
It is a smelly orange acid, I don't remember what the acid really (sulfuric?) is. I personally havent' had to take a whiff of it in years. Most Photo stores that cater to pros/amateurs who process there own film should stock it.
