[Test-Equipment] cleaning flux off

[John Miles]

I don't think I've ever seen rosin-core flux damage anything, to be honest.
I'll wipe off the excess with iso alcohol and a Q-tip or Kleenex, but I
don't get fanatical about removing every trace of it.

What negative experiences have you had?  I'm just starting to get into
surface-mount board work, so if there's something I need to worry about it'd
be good to know.
