Cleaning up flux?

Design Concepts
1

I’ve been building my sammichFM and, so far, things are going well. One minor issue I have run into is that the flux doesn’t clean up. I’m using too much I would bet but regardless, I have some sticky patches around my SMD devices and around some of the through holes I used it on (since it actually does help a fair amount using it on those too).

So how do I clean it up? Alcohol or some special cleaner?

Yes, alcohol (like isopropanol) will be fine for cleaning up the flux.

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Yup, isopropyl and a toothbrush works a treat.

Ah I’ll have to try a toothbrush. Alcohol plus a towel didn’t really do much for me.

Medium bristle toothbrush and go nuts! :slight_smile: Don’t be stingy with the alcohol either. :wink:
