Ernie: I'm guessing your question is a bit far a field for us. I�d guess that 70% of us are no-clean with the remainder focusing almost exclusively on cleaning printed circuit boards. So rather than limiting yourself with us, also consider forums a

Armin: The stuff that Jax says is spot-on from a "bean counter" stand-point. Not that I'm say that Jax is one, he's aparently had training in dealing with them. But there's another apect that doesn't show on the spreadsheets and factor anaylsis. I
