I agree with you.

Subject: Re: [TN] Mixing fluxes - more
I've read the recent questions and information concerning mixing of
fluxes. I agree - do not mix flux types when soldering. However,
here's one for you that can be looked at from a couple of angles....
1. I build a board - wave solder using washable flux. Flux is
activated, does it's thing, and board is soldered.
2. Water Wash and Dry the board. All washable flux residue is gone.
3. Add a couple of more components that CANNOT be washed (water will
enter the component and ruin it), using NO-CLEAN.
4. Board is done.
Technically, I have used 2 types of fluxes on one assembly....
Another scenario:
1. Board (described above) is finished. But, fails test - I find a bad
component...
2. I have to use NO CLEAN to replace the component because I cannot
water wash the board (remember the other components that cannot be
subjected to water wash..)
3. Board is done. Passes test - finished.
Again - Technically, I have mixed fluxes on the same assembly.
In the above description, I do not see a problem - or am I missing
something?
Thanks,
Tom
