Coke would eat the copper etches<BR>>right off the boards. And, what was left was almost<BR>>impossible to solder to.<BR>><BR>>Then, there was the table-top video game from the<BR>>local bar. Over time, people spilled beer and some ran<BR>>down inside. Best I could tell, the beer did no real<BR>>damage, but the roaches sure loved it. We had to take<BR>>it back to the shop, set it in the middle of the<BR>>parking lot, open all the doors and empty a can of<BR>>Raid inside. An hour later, there were dead roaches in<BR>>a 30 ft diameter
circle.<BR>><BR>>Then it was time for me to work on it. :-(<BR>><BR>>Bob R.<BR>><BR>>--- Dean Pappas <d.pappas@kodeos.com> wrote:<BR>><BR>> > Coke corroded<BR>> > the aluminum, through both coatings #1 and #2, in no<BR>> > time.
