Any suggestions for the best way to remove old flux from circuit
boards when desoldering? The wick soaks up the solder just fine, but
the flux seems to remain behind.


Q-tips and isopropyl alcohol seems to be the widely accepted method.


I use a proprietary aerosol defluxer made by Electrolube, applied with an
old toothbrush. Has worked well for me for years.
