We seem to have an accountability issue when it comes to operators building defective product. Currently we are putting a piece of masking tape with the assembly #, work order, and operator initials on our black trays at the end of the reflow oven. I

How thick is this pallet? 6mm, 8mm, 10mm? I would look at: Make sure you're pot height is correct (lead clearance). If you are burrying the pallet in the fountain, your going to "push" a large volume away. The solder "push" should not plow over t
