Sort of related question - I am experimenting with a batch cleaner for WS flux removal. I am using DI water for the wash and rinse cycle. I have not "blown off" the excess water, just placed the assembly in a dry chamber. The assemblies have "water-spots" on them. Do you have any experience with this problem? I heard of an additive but can not readily find information or suppliers of such a product. Thanks for your help. Douglas A. Hooper, Sr. Luminescent Systems, Inc.
