The solvents evaporate quite quickly, so there should be no residual. When the system is reassembled and bled, it will be clean.

As always, I appreciate your thorough responses. It's one thing to receive an opinion, it's another thing entirely to receive an opinion supported by an explanation. I like explanations. Cheers.
