I use Kester 331 water soluble flux solder for early<br>
components<br>
(stuff that can get wet), and it comes off the board<br>
entirely with a<br>
brush (nylon bristles, like a really big toothbrush)<br>
and warm/hot<br>
water. Thing about it is, if I were using it on the<br>
top and it were<br>
getting under components it would take more like an<br>
ultrasonic bath<br>
to clean and get flux out from under resistors and<br>
things, and if<br>
you don't clean it, the stuff is corrosive in the<br>
longer run.<br></div></div></blockquote></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>It's (supposed to be) non-toxic, I just wash it in the bathroom sink.
