Default Re: Extra flux anyone?

Years ago I had a gold coloured 400ml size aerosol can of Electrolube "PCL". Printed circuit lacquer. It was excellent for spraying onto shiny copper pcb or veroboard. It smelt of ether. When a coating had dried it provided protection from tarnishing or fingerprints caused by handling. Applying hot solder the coating dissolved and acted as an excellent flux.
Not seen it around for a long time. Most coatings I looked up a while back seem to be of the conformal coating type.
