[ltp] Spilled Water on R32

[Sasha Z]

Have you tried going over the board with some DI water to thoroughly
clean it of impurities? Spray the board with a douche, swirl it
around, dump waste water... repeat. Do this a couple times, let the
board dry overnight. Try again.

I have recovered from more than one spillage incident this way. :)

Incidentally, a slightly more advanced process with sonic vibrators is
used in real PCB production plants to clean off PCB's.
