In Aerospace boards meant for Space applications especially, Honeywell uses Axarel 2200. Stuff eats flux like it's water and leaves the board beautiful.

I have a can of Maplin PCB cleaner (it's a throwback to the days when they sold components and tools to the electronic faithful), which actually leaves the PCB in a far worse state than it started out with! It's like a layer of jam. Ewwww ... So this video has helped me a lot. Thanks. 👍

Hey that first card looks exactly like the cards in the ECU on the trains that i work on!

Ultrasolve is basically cyclohexane a common solvent, not bad results. But you'd be amazed at what some good ole 1-1-1 Tricholoroethane will do. It's quite a bit harder to source but it's out there. Be amazed.

can you still 'powered' or 'use' the PCB if there is any flux? will it damage or causing short to the board? thanks!

Thanks for sharing. Hope to get my C64 and Beeb fixed up like new. Had to upgrade the Beeb with a coprocessor and videoNULA. Probably need a new Vic2 for the Commodore. Then I'll write my own software to network the two systems and write some old school computer games that are multiplatform :)

Your thoughts and experience (if any) with using ultrasonic cleaner?

[cemc.]

How about washing the whole board with dish washing detergent and soft brush in a warm water? Will it damage the board or the components ?

Thank you for you videos. Do you use 0.25 mm solder wire with a flux core, or solid? And, lead-free or not?

I'm ususing IPA 91% and it always let flux ... ive changed flux, and got the same issue, it just blend the flux and only spread it ... I'll try specific flux remover product

Do you have to worry about ESD when using wipes and brushes?

[mrBDeye]

I gave me Boss a can of Flux Off. He then proceeded to walk me out the door and fired me. 😮

Are you making boards for the MOD? !!
This is a top dollar finish!!

[jamesde]

does ultrasolve remove water soluble fluxs?

Wow, I would have never thought that PCBs can be submerged. Are all the little components waterproof?

[voeurnsear]

Please recommend the name of flux free fuid
