[sdiy] Rosin flux - remove or not?

[Seb Francis]

I tend to just leave the rosin flux on for non-critical (=most audio 
applications) circuits.  For my 'nice' projects where I bother getting a 
PCB made I use either organic flux solder and wash with water (*must* 
wash it off though), or more recently I started using no-clean type 
solder which is much less hassle.
