Use "Bakers Secret" Teflon coated loaf pans to make the nicest solder ingots that you have ever seen. We hope you are using the term "draining the solder pot" euphemistically. Using the drain on the bottom of the pot is dangerous. [Too much can go

Hi Steve, When I drain our wave solder pot in preparation for loading a lead free alloy (SN100); I am going to use muffin tins dusted with baby powder or maybe a little high temp oil so that the solder doesnt stick to the tins. I know that this may
