[Elecraft] Cleaning solder flux

[Mark Goldberg]

There is no clear consensus because there are many different fluxes,
different use cases and different environmental conditions that the
products will be expected to be used in. It would be useful to find out
what the manufacturer of the particular flux used says to do. That is not
sufficient, as the product requirements then come into play. If you really
want to go off the deep end, get copies of IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001, which
define how electronic assemblies should be built and inspected.
Unfortunately, unless you have access through work or academia, they cost
money. They also reference many other documents for specific aspects.
