I remember some brief discussion here some time back re: flux removal and some were saying that they don't remove flux since it has no real effect on the circuit. Well, I have now proven to myself that it *does* have an effect. I was tracing down some odd results at an analog PIC input and cleaning off the flux near the PIC's analog pins solved the problem. BTW, this was rosin amine flux, and I cleaned it off a CW Rosin Flux Remover Pen.
