OOPS! forgot: After you are done soldering, if a "one-sided" board, wash
off the "rosin flux" with lacquer thinner and a toothbrush (let it dry
completely before re-use. Else the taste is very bad!).
Then, spray the "bright" just-soldered/flux-free bottom with clear Krylon,
etc.
IF you have some conductor on the top, you have to be VERY careful using
Q-tips or whatever to clean off the bits of flux here and there, among the
components on top. Be SURE and mask off all IC-sockets, screw-terminals,
solder-posts, etc., and then spray the top, but be SURE not so much that it "runs all
in" the IC-sockets, etc! Takes reasonable hand-care and maybe a bit of
experience!
