| How to clean up lab after big capacitor blew? |

It's the smell that gets me. Once it gets up my nose it seems to linger for weeks! I attempted to desolder some SMD caps, and all it did was make them pop. Luckily there's not much in them. i'm so glad I didn't pop one of your 8500uF jobbies! I'd have to relocate. |

In my case the smell was not the worst, cleaning was :D |

See you the cap smell and raise you a Selenium Rectifier.... No other smell quite like it. Regards, Dan. |
| Mr. Scram:
Don't use a plexiglass box. That will shatter in a worst case scenario. Use something like lexan instead. That will bend, scratch and deform easier but is a lot less likely to shatter. |

Regards, Dan. --- End quote --- I had a selenium rectifier burn up in an old power supply my uncle had that I plugged in when I was probably 8 years old. That stench is still burned into my nostrils to this day, blech! Seems like the smoke it put out was green but that could be my imagination. |
