I've never seen a good article with a definitive explanation - just speculation that the increased wetting forces due to nitrogen result in increased tombstones. My own experience is that nitrogen is a very minor contributor to tombstones and can pr

You have a lot to think about! What does the flux manufacturer recommend as far as specifics like water temp or pressure? Do they recommend high temp di-water a detergent or saponifier? Do you currently have a cleaning machine, batch cleaner or inl

We roll ours up, fingers and all, and soak them for about an hour in a solution of water and DOMINATE (heavy duty degreaser) you can order from Grainger. They come out looking brand new every time!
