For at least 10 years all the solder wire I've bought for assembly work 
has had 'no clean' flux that leaves a tiny transparent residue that can 
remain in place - maybe not for high uW or serious QRO, but for all 
normal soldering it's fine. I have a bottle of old Kester flux if I need 
to tin rusty iron or tarnished copper.
