Talking of which does anyone have any suggestions as to with what? I've 
tried IPA, ethanol, acetone and even some of the tiny amount of 1,1,1 
trichloroethane I have left (yes, I know it's banned). Nothing so far 
has had much impact on the remains of the foam or the remains of the 
sticky tape (the yellow residue on some of the components in the photos).

I'm running out of ideas as to what might clean it off without damaging 
the board.
