Quoted from wiggy07:I saw Clay Harrell use yellow mustard on a board to kill the acid.
Mustard is only acidic because it has.....wait for it......vinegar in it.
So it's nowhere near strong enough to neutralize the alkali salts from a battery.
Quoted from HarryReimer:So damned important to replace/change those batteries once a year.. I use a remote holder as well. Someday I will stop being lazy and go NVRam on all my machines.
Or use Enloop rechargeable batteries, the game will keep them charged, and there is nothing in them to leak.
Camera guys swear by them.
