I've used it on a bunch of C128DCR parts.  It works well, but is kind of a pain to clean off.  I found that the best way to do it was to disassemble whatever plastic casing or parts completely, coat them in the goo, leave them out in the sun for a couple hours, and then use the dishwasher (not set very hot to avoid melting anything) to rinse the goo off.
