Hello Everyone,
I am wondering what the best method/practice/cleaner for cleaning (nonelectric) parts before final assembly is.
I love my custom sabers, but as we all know, the building/drilling/cutting process creates a TON of little particles that tend to cling to the inside of the parts because of the cutting oil and thread lubrication oil used in production, and by the end, they are covered in both ferrous and nonferrous metal particles, cutting oil, solder, plastic dust etc. etc. etc. and my kids and pregnant wife are going to be using them sooooo...
Is it safe/advisable to "wash" the parts in a mild dish soap solution (or something similar)? Or will a water bath cause the parts to corrode/rust sooner/at some point?
I would also like to avoid something harsh like acetone or some chemical bath, but I am willing to do that one time if it really does get the parts as clean as possible.
Thanks so much in advance.
