Is it Electrolube Fluxclene ?
It sounded great right up to the point where it rapidly evaporated ;-)
I was hoping to find something that I could re-use quite a few times.
Further digging on the web suggests that a lot of industrial processes clean
with a solvent, then rinse the boards in de-ionised water.
I'll maybe just try IPA with a water rinse and see how it goes.
