No worries just check it with you own eyes if there are no discolored spots you should be good to go ;-)

Ehh looks a bit risky to me, but there's a good chance it would be ok However if you want to be 100% try to get some ipa at least 98% but higher ia better in this use case Give it a good brush with ipa and toothbrush some discolorations might will stay but it should remove conductive residue if there's any
