We expect to find recommendations on periodic maintenance from the equipment fabricator in the operating manual. Those recommendations should be the basis for you to setup your maintenance program.

What chemical is everybody using in their wave solder finger cleaner? I have tried IPA as well as some other chemicals. Any suggestions?

IPA is a fire hazard. Be sure your fire extinguishers are charged and your evacuation plan is current, when using IPA in the vacinity of a wave solder machine. Have you tried DI water? Solutions used in wave finger cleaners include: * Techspray SMT

You may want to try C8502 from Kyzen Corp. I use it on our three wave solder machines with great results diluted in DI water 50%. I am an end-user like you not a sales person! You can order free samples... -George

Try Zestron Vigon RC 101. This mixes with tap water. Electrovert does not recommend DI water due to its corrosive nature. http://www.zestron.com/fileadmin/zestron/overviews-tis/usa/ti/ti-vigon-rc101-usa.pdf
