Jelly filled cable - cleaning solvent?
(1/3) > >>
DTJ:
I've got a job on that uses a little 2 pair jelly filled cable to connect to a bunch of sensors.

Anyone got experience with this stuff as to what's a good clean up solvent? Google has not been helpful.

I was thinking of trying methylated spirits (denatured alcohol) or some isopropyl alcohol.

Before I start out I thought I'd ask here as to what people have found works well.

Cheers.

Dielectric grease?

I'd just use some kind of mechanical removal to get rid of the bulk of it and then repeat with a clean rag + IPA

Yeah its water blocking jelly. It looks like white runny grease.  It gets everywhere.

You need to know what it is before agreeing to work with it, in case it's hazardous. My guess is it's simply petroleum jelly, which is harmless but it's good to check first. If this is the case, a mixture of white spirit and detergent will do the job.
