I recently witnessed a process in which the solder pot operator used Techspray WSOL water soluble masking to cover the areas around a connector that was to be soldered on the solder pot. He did not wait for the WSOL to cure. He soldered immediately.

From what I understand, the major reason Sn prices recently escalated was a crackdown on black market Sn mining in Indonesia, where most of our Sn originates. Add to that increased demand (not necessarily from RoHS, but from China, India, and other

Talking about lead-free idiocy. Here�s the result of what you get for being GREEN and paying trough the roof. Since the implementation of lead-free I don�t buy green shirts any more, because they charge me twice as much as the blue ones On the positi
