Wife dropped (dipped) the Ipod connector end of the Ipod battery
charger cord in hot candle wax (she dicks with mood candles ALL the
time). I don't dare "scrub" it out (many little contacts - doesn't
look too rugged). I'd like to wash out the wax with a thinner of some
kind by soaking it. Any suggestions on what to use?
Naptha will dissolve candle wax without harming much else, I would put/
submerge the connector in a little bowl of Naptha, and then swish it
around fairly vigorously for 30 seconds or so, take out, blow dry and
then let dry for 5 minutes, and then try it.
I would use a tissue and a hair dryer or other heat source to get as
much of the wax as possible, and use the naptha after that.
