Er, carbon tetrachloride is carcinogenic, I don't think he would want to use that...

WD-40, Pocket Rocket. or another water displacing aerosol is a good thing to try, as it will penetrate under surface mounted chips, which is where water could still be trapped by capillary action.

Guys,

I never said that WD-40 was a perfect answer, it was just to displace the water and prevent legs of chips etc. from rusting until such time that he could get around to drying it properly.

He could clean the board with methylated spirits afterwards and still be able to dry the board effectively.
