Thank you all for your input. The MF300S Multicore flux is rated for lead free. There is not much dross or contamination. We are using nitrogen. I've tested the boards with the curing test of IPC-TM-650. I think you're all right about the preheat.

J-STD-001C just requires that the area not be so dirty as to contaminate your product, tools, workspace, etc. If you start counting particles, you're into cleanroom territory. Do a search on ISO 14644-1 for specifics. Actually Wikipedia does a ni

CO2 is not the problem, CO (carbon monoxide) produced by combustion (engines,fires, etc) is. Trees and vegetation can process CO2, but not CO.

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
