I worked in an electronics place and one of the tests for flux residue % remaining on boards involved totally immersing boards in a tank of IPA, and a meter measured the conductivity increase (ionic change due to flux) of the bath.The problem with IPA, is that it doesn't really REMOVE flux, it just moves it around and disperses it. You need to put your boards through a big washer to remove it fully...
