He everyone!
As many of you know, I asked a little while ago where to get help with proper soldering. Many of you stepped up and gave me some wonderful advice and I was finally able to put it to use. Today, I soldered together my EasyFlash kit and it looks wonderful! I think I went a little overboard with the flux and had a couple correctable mistakes but no problems otherwise.
The only problem I have at this point is the flux left a very sticky residue on the board that I don't know how to remove. I used 91% Isopropyl alcohol to neutralize the flux but the board is a sticky mess. Would someone please let me know the best way to remove this? I can't put the chips in the sockets or finish testing until I clean the board.
Here's pictures of the board as it sits. I'll put up more pictures once it's populated and working.
Thank you all again for your help!
