It may be possible, but I think there are two things to
consider:
1. In the time between soldering and cleaning, does the
older flux harden to the extent that it becomes difficult
to clean?
2. Are the flux types in the sequential steps all
compatible? You don't want to mix water soluble residues
with rosin, for example, because you may end up with a
highly reactive residue that is difficult to remove. Better
to clean off the reactive residues before they become mixed
with something else.

Subject: [TN] Eliminating interemediate washes
Dear Technos,
Is it doable to wash a mixed technology board ( SMT + TH) only at the end of TH?
I mean instead of repeatedly washing (SMT first side-wash, SMT second side-wash, TH-wash, manual soldering-wash) adopting a one wash strategy (SMT first side-no wash, SMT second side-no-wash, TH-no wash, manual soldering-wash). TH might not be done in the same day as SMT, but no later than next day and boards washed within 3 hours after wave soldering.
Is anybody in the industry doing this?
Pros and cons?
Thanks,
Ioan Tempea, ing.
