In my experience, a foam fluxer puts on about 3 times the amount of flux
that a spray fluxer will.  I think you get better control with a spray
fluxer.

I am investigating used wave solder equipment. How important is spray
fluxing versus foam fluxing, also how important is it that the unit have a
hot air knife, and be nitrogen capable. We will only be using it for
assorted thru hole components on mostly surface mount boards that have been
already refolded. I don't anticipate doing any wave soldering of SMD
components.

Thanks,

Fred
