After sanding, just blow the dust from the area and then do your bond. I have been reading these threads with interest and curiosity. Why has nobody mentioned "Wax and Silicone Remover", which is what MY set of (1987) plans recommended. The stuff I have used throughout contains naptha, isopropyl alcohol, and "petroleum distillates". You wipe it on with one hand and wipe it off quickly with a clean paper towel - a fresh one each time. That way the oils and silicone go into solution and are removed by the second towel. For a critical bond, I would repeat this procedure three times.
