Hello all,

I have found that the best solvent for rosin type solder flux is 100% 
isopropyl alcohol.  Don't use the drugstore kind-it is 70% alcohol and 30% 
water, doesn't work.  The most readily available source of 100% isopropyl 
alcohol is ISOPROPYL formula drygas from your convenience or department 
store.  Make sure that it is the isopropyl formulation, not the regular 
formulation which uses methanol.  Methanol doesn't work very well.

Drew
