Re: Overcoating/soldermask

I'm assuming that after you solder you're going to have flux residue 
and burnt polish residue around joints....What cleanup solvent do you 
use that doesn't also remove your wax coating in the area and create an 
unholy mess? This applies to the other suggestions where the protective 
coating is applied before soldering as well. Needless to say these 
coatings seem to preclude a reflow job in an oven for any oddball SMDs.
