I don't think flux will ever evaporate, no matter in what it is dissolved.

Maybe the water is doing something bad, i sure don't understand it. Flux
will not solve in water, maybe that's causing the dusturbance.

What does the good IPA cost in comparision?

In general i noticed IPA seems to leave more residue than denatured
alcohol.

Maybe there's other contaminants than water?

I do know what you mean by the snagging wires problem, that's why i rarely
clean the flux off.
