It's (water soluable flux) very hard to wash off completely and is usually
used for mechanized 
soldering. It's not recommended by Elecraft. If you don't wash it off 
completely, what's left absorbs moisture from the air and becomes 
conductive.

>From what I've read it also remains corrosive at room temperature, just like
acid flux, with the same results as using acid flux on a board: it'll eat
the traces to bits over a few months time.
