I find you can soak the parts in 15% or so phosphoric acid solution or white
vinegar.

> I have been having trouble removing the last bits of welding flux from
inside of those hard to reach places such as a basket handle or braided
handle.  Does anyone have any sugestions to gaurantee complete removal?  It
seems that I always have a bit of coorosion months or years later form up
under the finish at the weld points that I assume is moisture being atracted
to the remaining flux.
