I only inhale flux with a high IPA content.(joke for those who don't know me) I have seen the inside of duct work for our wave soldering machine............NASTY! DAVE F. is right! Flux contains a lot of bad stuff- Chlorides, Bromides, Fluorides,

Key Issue: Will this machine solder your boards? You never know until you solder one. Any other avenues of analysis involve substantial risk. Flux Selection * High or low solids * VOC or VOC-free Solder Alloy * If using lead-free, avoid stainles

Thx to everyone who replied. we will be running single sided thru hole and double sided smt, 186 rosin flux cause they tell me it can take the heat needed for 18 layer pwbs. some long leads. also they are ordering in pallets to deal with the irregu

Fred, give us a quickie at what you will be soldering Single sided thu hole, double sided SMT, both, lead pitches and protrusions, Flux type, and such. Buying a used wave can be tricky and the more info up front the better we will be able to tell yo

if two boards with different solder masks give different results on flux residue level after soldering with the exact same machine settings than it is clear that one of the solder masks is not compatible with your no-clean flux. could be the solder m

we have problem in setting the density of a no clean flux for using before wave soldering . first we dilute the flux but we have many short circuit problem between the pads of edge connector,then we densify the flux all the short circuit is removed b

Matt solder mask finishes gives the widest process window in view of potential amount of residues when using No-Clean. Shiny (glass like) finishes are more sensitive to residues due to lower surface area compared to matt finish. If the shiny finish i

I guess you're adding the gas to keep the fingers clean - sounds likeyou got your threads mixed up on the Forum. Any way I would suggest not doing this. Gas is pretty flammable. I have pix of one our Hollis cleaning machines going up in flames cau

We use the exact same method Chunks outlined for evaluating just about anything we're going to roll out worldwide, whether it's a material or a machine. List your factors (print speed, solder spread, etc), assign each a weight, evaluate each paste a
