HOSS, Most spray fluxers won't help. If you get a spray fluxer that uses a high velocity spray gun, it might. That being said I had less problems with top side wetting from a foam fluxer myself. Make sure the foam height is good. Also had some pr

Mike, If your wave solder machine doesn't have enough preheat capacity you can put the board in an oven and warm it part way before you put it into the wave solder machine. This works best with a spray fluxer, as a warm board will collapse the foam

Here are the scenarios: *No-Clean Flux & Foam Fluxer: alcohol is used as a thinner (for titration purposes) if your flux is alcohol-based *No-Clean Flux & Spray Fluxer: alchol is used only as a cleaning agent for your sprayhead.

In almost every application an ultrasonic spray fluxer will out perform foam fluxing. Better soldering results are what most expereince after making the change to U/S spray. There are good ultrasonic units from USI and Sono-Tek. www.ultraspray.com w

| Does anyone have any recommendations on spray fluxers? Are there major differences between the high priced ultrasonic machines to the low priced flux/air spraying machines? We are going to be spraying an OA flux with 11% solids content. Are there a

Are you making sure that the all the alcohol in the stone is pretty much gone before you put it in the tank? If the stone is dripping with alcohol when you put it in the tank, you could be affecting the specific gravity of the flux so much that it ca

Definitely better than foam!! I personally love the sonoteks. They do not really use a "nozzle" by the way. The flux is pooled on U.S. head and it atomizes it and then you have air spray to form proper spray pattern, If you are using Water soluble

Beware the foam fluxer. I had a problem with cracked caps that just about drove me off the deep end. I discovered that my foam fluxer air knife was not turned on resulting in excessive flux. The excessive flux (VOC free) was not properly dried off

Instead of spending 15k on a spray fluxer spend a little bit on your foam tower. The narrower the foam head the less flux being applied. You might have to modify the foam tower but if works. I would switch fluxes though there are others out there tha

I have found that preheating the solder pallets prior to use helps cut down on the solder balling. Also, we do not cool the pallets between passes and we use a spray fluxer because a hot pallet will knock down the head on a foam fluxer. We use WS f
