Does anyone have a recommendation for a cleaning solution used in an ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning RMA solder paste off stencils and adhesive off pcb boards. I am going to be evaluating Armakleen 2001, Zestron Vigon SC 200, and Aqueous Technologies

IPA is a fire hazard. Be sure your fire extinguishers are charged and your evacuation plan is current, when using IPA in the vacinity of a wave solder machine. Have you tried DI water? Solutions used in wave finger cleaners include: * Techspray SMT
