The components went thru quite a process before the first submersion...First , I removed every trace of every sticker on anything.I then removed the pvc jackets from every electrolytic capacitor I could.At that point , everything was totally washed in a)soap and water and b)99% isopropanol.
The last process was to seal the electrolytics/inductors/transformers with an acrylic conformal coating.This prevents the Midel from degrading the rubber/pvc.....so basically , It was all clean to begin with.
