WaterCooling - Help / Advice

[StarTrek133]

Hi Everyone, 

 

Hope everyone's weekend is going well .. I need some help / advice .. 

 

I am currently working on building a new computer using EKWB black Nickle fittings .. but I am running into two issues 

 

1. what can I do to clean the fittings ? 

• I am currently doing my dry fit up and the fittings have my finger prints and other stuff on them .. So for the finally assembly I am going to use rubber gloves but before that how can I clean the fittings ? acetone ? or ..... 

2. easier way to insert the tubbing ? 

• My other issue is trying to insert the hard line tubing into the fitting even with all my might at times it never seems to got in straight or all the way .. I was thinking of using wd40 but I know that would so horrible bad but I just dont know what else I could use .. 

3. a way to tighten the fittings ? 

• also looking for a way to tighten the fittings up as all I have are metal wrenches and plyers both would mark the Black Nickle .. I tried looking for some type of scrap wrench at Lowes and Home Depot but everything they have is Hugh and wouldn't fit in the case .. 

 

So any advice would be great .. Thanks ..
