I once actually found a use for liquid rosin - I used it to make my
hands sticky so I could get a grip on some cable-bundling tape in a
piece of equipment that was all covered with hydraulic fluid.
All I've ever been able to accomplish with it in electronics is gum
up the board and make it harder to clean.

But I do recommend a good magnifier, and a good source of light.

Good Luck!
Rich
