Please try to use the steam aging tester and make a try ! When the water temp up to +100℃, Put your new model into the water tank. This +100℃ hot and steam water may remove the paste in via hole. Thank you. https://www.wewontech.com/steam-aging-

I work for a medium sized electronic manfacturing company that is looking into potentially purchasing our own piece of steam aging equipment, but I am having trouble locating manufacturers. So far I have only found H&H Engineering in Stockton, CA. D

Davd, Thats what first came to my mind when I was asked to do this task, the old train belching out climbing the last hill towards town ;) H&H Engineering has what used to be Mountain Gate's line of steam aging equipment. They are at 209-475-0693
