Hey everyone,
I've started working on my 16b and am in the process of cleaning the chassis. does anyone have any tips on what works well for removing wax from the chassis? At one point something got hot enough to melt a fair amount of wax onto the chassis. I've removed quite a bit by scraping and using a heat gun to soften the bulk of it but there is still a film that needs to come off in the nooks and crannies. Any one have any tips? Thanks!
