Suffice it to say that using a substance for a purpose not mentioned on the containers label just isnt what you want. Go to a trusted computer or parts retailer and specifically ask for parts cleaner, €˜head cleaner .. etc. Because it beats re-inventing the wheel, being adventuresome, gambling, etc...
