[Elecraft] Cleaning a K3

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

In a production environment, acid flux is almost universal.  Rosin flux 
requires solvents and the local air pollution cops watch you very 
closely.  The solvents are more likely to damage components than water.

A proper wave soldering system does a great job of displacing the flux, 
and water cleans the acid off very nicely.
