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.

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!!
