Yellow Magic vs IPA

Ok here is what I found:

Yellow Magic 7 Qustions

You’ll have to take my comments with a grain of salt since I’m not an expert, but I had to clean a very large print last night and didn’t have enough IPA, so I went with a 1:1 mixture of YM7 and water and put the part into it. I put the finishing tank on my investment vibrator and shook it for about 5 minutes. I pulled out the part and rinsed it off and let it dry. Afterward it was very tacky. I then put the part into the other tank with clean IPA and swooshed and flipped it there for a coup…

Yellow Magic 7 Qustions

When we first starting printing with our Form 2, we were trying to only use YM7, but our parts were always still tacky. After experimenting, we ended up using YM7 as the first rinse (shaking for a minute then letting set for another 15 minutes), then using IPA as the second/final rinse. Our parts have been turning out great since that change. We’re a little disappointed in the YM7, but it is still helping to minimize the amount of IPA we end up using.
