Good for you smtspecialist and your clean oven. It's always better to be too picky, cause once the goo starts dripping, they'll only blame it on your paste. Mistress? No, gotta keep gender out of the work place. How about "Connoisseur Chunks"? S

Wave soldering problem - strange colour of the solder

Rules of thumb :- 1. Never over flux - not necessary and waste's money. Never top flux neither 2. Top Board temp. around 70C - 105C or there about's pending what laminate you use. Obviously the more flux you apply the higher heat required/denser PC
