Many years ago I cleaned RMA with soaponifier in water. 

Take a look at:  http://www.circuitnet.com/articles/article_40098.shtml

I recall an important issue is getting the water temp up to the proper
level. My little "Hobart On Steroids" (aka ECD 9200) needed a wiring up of a
heater for this.

Now I think that was back in 1989?

Subject: [TN] Rookie question on RMA fluxes

Dear Technos,

 

Although I've been around in this trade of ours for quite a while now, I
have never had the occasion to work with RMA fluxes. I need to know how this
functions. How can RMA be cleaned, I've heard about alcohol...? Is regular
aqueous wash enough? If alcohol only, do we need a special equipment?
Anything else to know?

And, anyways, are RMA fluxes still available?

 

Also, I imagine most of you at ease with RMA have tried to talk your
customers into converting to water soluble flux chemistries. How hard was
that? Is it possible?

 

Thanks,
