BGA on gravel

[wasabi8888]

Hi all

WHen i sucked BGA on gravel using a vacuum, inadvertently gravel will be sucked in. Can i just wash the sucked gravel, rinse a few times and throw it back in? or do the bros here just throw the gravel away?

The not so pros recycle! Yes, you can put a drop of bleach[soak for an hour] to whiten it and kill any leftover nasties. Put some anti chlorine to neutralize the bleach and rinse.

or boiled water, I'm sure boiled water will kill BBA.

That's a great idea, environmentally friendly too.
