Hi guys

I saw a few threads when I searched, but I was hoping to get a little better answer for this.

I just finished building my cfc. It's built with 3/8 copper interior tubing and all the fittings are copper as well. I did a TSP soak, vinegar soak, and then rinsed the hell out of it. Water that goes through it tastes just fine no trace of anything. I removed the thermowell(diy, copper) and the end of it was all greasy with flux.

So my question is what I can use to do the initial cleaning to get all the flux and whatever is on the copper from milling off of there. The TSP or vinegar didn't seem to do the trick.

Thanks
