The picture of the 'old' 70's etc consumer equipment covered in flux is true.
The rosin serves as conformal coating. The 'clean all flux' mantra is true, for
rework and inspection. However, when that is finished, the conformal coating
must be put back on ;-)

I sent another more detailed message with rosin use instructions but the list
ate it I think. I will re-send it if it does not appear in a few hours.
