    The only thing you have to be aware of when cleaning a brazed trigger housing is to not use anything like Phosphoric Acid which will 'bleach' out the Parkerizing on the steel parts. What you did didn't permanently damage the braze. There are several ways of cleaning the residues off the braze without harming it or the adjacent finishes. It depends on what the 'gummy' build-up is. Probably hot soapy water and a toothbrush would do it.
