Tried a different way to clean flux off a board and it went wrong

I was fixing a game console from 2015 and used a mix of 70% isopropyl and a drop of dish soap instead of my usual 99% stuff. The soap left a weird film that made the board look cloudy and messed up a trace reading. Has anyone else had a bad result from adding soap to their cleaning mix?

Honestly, that sounds like a total nightmare, sorry man.

Get some earplugs that don't muffle sound too bad and find a spot near the back or side of the crowd where you can still see the stage. That festival stuff is way more manageable when you have an exit plan and a meeting spot set before you even get there. @riverp37 probably figured out that chaos works if you control the parts you can.

Yeah, it's funny because I used to think the same way. Always figured a quiet, simple life was the way to go. Then my buddy dragged me to this huge, chaotic music festival last summer. The crowds were insane, the planning was a mess, but the energy was unreal. It completely flipped my view on what a good time could be. What's the last thing that changed your mind like that?
