Well... you could, but it simply doesn't look as nice since the flux
is left on the PCB. I use water washable where I can on Synthasonic
products just so that it looks as nice as possible, but for stuff for
me, I'll either use all no clean or rosin core (still my favorite all
these years later). I dunno... personally, I'd rather make music than
look at the PCB, but there are always a few folks out there to whom it
∗really∗ matters. Plus, I like to be as neat as I can with my
products, so there you have it...
