I was cleaning flux wrong for years until a guy in Anchorage called me out
I mean, I always just used the standard isopropyl and a brush, thinking it was fine if the board looked clean. But last month, working on a G1000 unit, this old timer from Alaska pointed out the faint white residue under my UV light. He said 'kid, that's active flux, it'll eat your traces in a year.' I had no idea my 'clean' boards were basically time bombs. Has anyone else switched to a specific flux remover they trust for long term avionics work?

Wait, he was using a UV light to check? That's next level, I've never even thought of that. I just eyeball it and call it good. Makes me wonder how many of my old projects are secretly dissolving. What flux remover did he tell you to use instead?
