Hi, thank you for the idea. I may try solder iron, but it much more slower since I have to solder spacers one by one. a stimpson press is used to press the spacer on the board and the edges of the spacers are rolled. Then we solder the edges to

Carol, I think the guys are right about you stand off problem but I want to address the wrinkleing of your masking. Although I think the temps you are subjecting the board to are very high and more than likely creating problems of their own. I th

Boca, Dave Sorry, but I cannot let this go. I'll go along with you that, at the time that the Montreal Protocol was initially signed (September 1987), there was no scientific proof that CFCs etc. were causing ozone depletion. There was, however, ve
