Believe it or not, we use kid's markers like Crayola. Some colors come off more readily than others so you may have to experiment. We use it on aluminum so it may not be just right for you but it's an inexpensive test. Kind of made us happy when m

350 candlepower is fairly low for high detail work. I spent some time in the construction industry laying out electrical blueprints for schools, and such. It was desirable to have more in the order of 700 fc for the desk surface that kids would wor

There has been and there are plenty of sales-types that make out-standing and valued postings to SMTnet. There has been and there are other sales-types that do not. Perhaps those that struggle with developing an understanding of the appropriateness

Converting BGA to PGA. Yes!!! Wouldn't want progess in packaging design to slow us down, would we? [Haaaaa. Just kidding. Probably has something to do with legacy designs; form, fit and function; and all that stuff.] Tacky flux only, like a rew

Copper thieves...great idea...used some just today. How about some details on the wave soldering issues? I bet there are some mega-expert super brain-e-ax on here that would love to share their lifetime learned black art. Or maybe not (kidding).

The reality is mfg jobs worldwide are going down down down. In fact Asia lost way more mfg jobs - in terms of numbers, not percentage - than NA and Euro. The fact of the matter is less and less people are needed to make more and more products. Pretty

Yep, but its hard to contol small parts with the bags. They're good for DIP's and sockets, connectors, but radials are kinda hit and miss. I bought mine from Pentagon EMS. They only use the finest european leather (kidding). PENTAGON EMS 10950 SW

If it works for you, great. I would be concerned with "usually very obvious". Not all solders respond like you might think (rma's, OA's, NC's). Yours works. Mine may not. Do you control your facility humidity? I find that common sense is not

How big are the boards? I havn't done a lot with wave solder and I'm just wondering, how much solder these boards would use. Also I seem to recall being told that a thin layer of dross helps prevent more dross from forming. Of course this would not b
