Hi Technos, we built the SMT on no-clean, but a few boards from the batch ended up being waved with water soluble and washed. The application is high-end, indoors consumer goods, with particular requests as for the cosmetics. For now, the boards do not have any ugly appearance, no white residue smeared all over the place. I need to know if the mishap will affect reliability and long term esthetics of the boards, in other words, should we scrap them, better clean them (how?), or ship.
