I thought it required some persistent scrubbing. As far as solder goes, I forgot about the moisture problem, and I had no intention of cleaning the rosin off. I don't like the toothpaste consistancy of no-clean, but maybe I should learn to like it. It could save me a good chunk of time. Or perhaps it's time for a wave solder machine. -Elhardt
