It's not really necessary, but if done you need to be careful not to  
let it get into any of the components--a few drops on a piece of lint- 
free cloth would be better than spraying.  I used Multicore 63/37  
with "no-clean" flux and the boards came out looking fine without any  
additional steps.  I believe this flux is less active than the  
regular type, but I had no problem obtaining decent joints.
