The flux remover spray I find locally in my area doesnt seem to be
very effective.
From what I understand years ago, they banned the really good stuff
for this (some type of CFC). Can anyone recommend an effective flux-
remover spray (brand) that perhaps I can order online?
Thanks


A trick I used to do when I repaired boards for a commercial company, was to lightly brush over the newly soldered joints with a brass wire brush, then mop over the area with isopropanol. This smooths out the coating on the board and makes it virtually impossible to see which components have been changed.
