Phil, I was kinda surprised to see that a 1,1,1 product was still on the market. Anyhow, we tin our gold plated connector leads using RMA fluxes. We use a Chemtronics product called Flux-Off CZ for rosin flux removal. This is an environmentally friendly material and works terrific. It is, however, very expensive. It runs about $18 per can and over $300 per gallon when using the liquid. Needless to say, I keep a tight lid on usage and only use the material when absolutely neccessary (like cleaning tinned connectors). Otherwise we use isopropyl alcohol for general benchtop cleaning operations.
