Why yes, I regognize all the best. WML, I have an idea... I am going to call it, the Dunker. Instead of anyone foaming, I will get the wave operators to throw the boards into a rubbermaid tub full of flux/gasoline mixture and send through to the wav

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

Really, if you start out from the beginning planning to clean the boards, then DON'T use the no-clean flux! The way that stuff is made, it leaves a hard, low-solubility residue that takes a LOT of effort to get clean. If you plan to clean, use a wa
