We just got a wave solder machine and we are using Sn100. I am new to the wave process. I see a product called "Super Deox Dross Reducer". Is this something we should be using? Is there a downside? Better alternatives? Thanks!

Here is a link to one my favorite 'dross elimination thread' from the fine SMTnet Archives ... http://www.smtnet.com/Forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Message_ID=56894

I have been using MS2 from PK metals with great results. If you follow their recommendations product works very well. Give it a try... George

For some reason I no longer get e-mail notifications to forum post responses. I tried to e-mail SMTnet but when I click send, it tells my e-mail address is not valid.

Dave ... The geeks are working overtime on this, they've ordered in a box of ramen noodles and a case of Coke. The level of effort will have Peter taking to himself ... Dave

These notes are from ~2005-6. I remember pictures of the pallets and the reliefs on the stencil. Bob may still have his presentation online. Check his site.

Polymide is like a sponge and absorbs moisture much faster than rigid substrates. Pre-bake your substrate for 2-4 hours at 125C and perform your soldering within 1 shift thereafter or seal in moisture barrier bags.
