Cleaning audio components with 90% isopropyl alcohol


I am about to clean the cable tips and the component input jacks with 90% isopropyl alcohol. The question is, how long do I have to wait before I plug everything back in? Thanks everyone.

I use99% pure from Amazon  then put a thin coat of  Stabilant which is a contact enhancer , NASA has been using this fr years ,my uncle is a master technician turned me on to this years ago if you don’t move cables around often this will keep cables from oxydation for over 12 years verywell proven can also buy on Amazon 

I buy the concentrate a little bottle last for years.

I just spit on them and wipe clean with 10ply toilet paper. I find it really enhances the sound. 

You really should get some CRC +1 @toddsyr if you can or Deoxit D5, for contacts and pots and the green F5 for faders plastics etc.

 

Use Deoxit D5 for initial cleaning, then apply PreservIT P5 to preserve the surfaces. This is an industry standard in recording studios world wide.
