I was buying some flux and I noticed a bottle with clear liquid that
said "No Clean Flux" Will this work like the regular Rosin flux? Is it
better or worse? It was $20.00 and I didn't want to end up poring it
down the drain.


I wouldn't use it on anything electronic. I'm not quite sure of the brand,
but it's likely to be an aggressive action flux designed for say capillary
fittings on copper pipe and needs thorough washing off after use.


Regular rosin flux, is no clean. Some of the newer fluxes especially of
the non lead solders use an organic flux which is washed off with water.
Water then non statically and blown dry maybe with some amount of heat.
