I use acetone for cleanup; haven't had a flash fire yet, so just be safe. I use
three tupperware containers and clean up using the "3-dip method." Don't use
solvents to clean your skin, it will just send the chemicals straight into your
blood. I have tried vinegar with mixed results.

I do not prep the bonding surface with acetone. I just sand for a good secondary
bond and vacuum. Since I'm not Boeing, I can't guarantee a perfectly cleaned
laminate, so I don't risk contaminating it with a rag. Realistically, I doubt it
matters, these things are really overengineered. I will also recommend buying
the books on the website that pertain to composites. There's a lot of good info
in there.
