Actually, I considered the topic of alcohol to be on
topic. One of
the things I have had to deal with is old circuit boards that were
hand-assembled. Typically, the solder side of these boards are
covered with flux resudue.
Now I realize that this residue is inert, and has reasonably good
dielectic properties, but it makes the assembly look like h***. I'm
into the habit of cleaning this stuff off, and to me, nothing works
better than pure 'hooch' (chloro-clean is a tad expensive, and I
consider MEK to be a bit too harsh).

Does that flux suck moisture in over time and gives funny problems
with electronics? Because, I cleaned out old flux of some cheapo
stuff and sometime that helped.
Take care anyone!
