I make a little tray out of aluminum foil, with little strips on top making a saddle for the block, and put it, right side up on the little saddle so the goo can leak out a bit... and bake it at 250F until I see the goo begin to drip. Then I pull the works out of the oven. I take the tray and all outside, and pull the stuffings out, and clean the rest out with a bamboo skewer stick. The pointy end is GREAT on the solder holes.
