I probably should have qualified my previous post with "clean the external
residues with a dry brush".  Sorry for any confusion.

I would try no-clean, but clean the external residue, if that is your
restraint.  At least you won't have corrosives attacking your wire under the
insulation where you can't clean.  Good luck.  Bill C

Subject: [TN] Rework Wires and OA Flux


Since OA flux residues are corrosive if not removed, how does one handle
soldering rework wires to boards? Won't the flux wick under the insulation
and cause a problem? Assume I do not have the option of using a no clean
flux. Is my only choice an RMA chemistry with local cleaning (which is an
option I have available if needed)? Any other ideas?

Thanks.
