BFL 60GH Single in mineral oil.

Mineral oil will siphon itself though plastics and insulation of wiring so be careful. I had found mine that ran for a few months had oil pulled more than 2 meters through a 3m USB cable. Even uphill. It'll make a mess, increase fire hazard, and make the cables firm (they may snap or insulation will flake off if you bend them).

Remove the oil from boards by first letting it drip, then immerse in mineral turpentine or shellite (other names: light petroleum distillates / white spirits / hexane). If you used mineral turpentine (which has a lingering smell) you can remove this by then immersing it in undiluted methylated spirits and fan drying for several hours / overnight. (And hope during all this that those electrolytic cap cans are 100% sealed).

tl;dr - I would not go down this path again.

I am using technical grade mineral oil. There is no smell. After I pulled out the card I just washed it off with soap and water and let it dry.

My hands are as supple as butter today. Novec is a lot less messy but it is too expensive.

What about submerging in distilled water? Would that remove heat faster than mineral oil?

LOL do it, I always love jackass movie, but reality ones are the best.
