Lead-free wave and selective soldering systems require exposing the flux to slightly higher soldering temperatures. Lead-free alloys traditionally wet metal surfaces more slowly than tin-lead. Kester liquid fluxes for lead-free assembly have new acti

Hello all, Has anyone used Kester 2331-ZX water soluble flux on selective soldering and expirienced a white film after soldering. I have seen this on and off for a few weeks now and believe it is a chemical reaction with the solder mask or improperly

This happens to be after the water wash process. These are Burn-In boards so an SMT epoxy is used prior to wave. The flux used is Kester 2331ZX. Would using a thinner cause this to occur? The residue is all over the board. Thanks.
