That seems like a detached, cool, calm, measured and objective assessment :)
IPA has many uses including as the basis solvent in liquid fluxes as
supplied. But that doesn't mean it will work as a cleaner for post solder
flux residues. After their excursion up to solder temperatures they come
down rather different and so are not necessarily still all soluble in IPA.

Bob,
As I have told many a person here, isopropyl alcohol SUCKS as a cleaner.
Sucks sucks sucks. Horrid. Awful. Rotten. I could go on, but seem to
have misplaced my thesaurus.
I would recommend either Chemtronics Heavy Duty Flux Off (yes, that is an
actual name) or Kyzen's Cybersolv 141R.

[TN] Cleaning for Hand Soldering
Technetters:
Can you a please weigh in on the following question .....
One of our customers' hand soldering processes uses Kester 186
rosin liquid flux=A0 along with SN63/PB37=A0 rosin core solder. They
currently use 99% isopropyl alcohol for cleanin and want to get away from
this method.
The options being considered are:
1) Kontakt PCC (out of Europe)
2) Ecoline Techspray
Does anyone have any experience with either product good or bad?
Thanks!!
Bob Wettermann
