Thanks Mike, Unfortunately I am limited to the amount of time I can run preheat along with the limitation of only two different settings/cycles. Looks like its time to get a higher end rework station.

The mfg. should be able to tell you. We store ours, for winding transformers, at room temperature. Have had no issues.

Hi, Looking for the quickest and cheapest method to qualify solder pastes for both PbF and Non-PbF. Any suggestion will be helpful. Thanks

Check Phil Zarrow's site [ http://www.itmconsulting.org ]. Phil wrote an article on paste evaluation a few years ago.

Why pay someone to start you on your evaluation. I'll send ya a decision matrix that will work 10 times better than any consultant that could rep the highest paying paste manufacturer.

Chunkie Why doesn't your company wash those little blue smirf coats for the people? Requiring employees to wash smocks is very poor practice, because the company looses control over the wash process, materials, or schedule. Do you test the smocks

Not to mention the addition of solder paste getting into an uncontrolled waste stream, being washed in the same appliances as someone's baby bibs, burp rags, etc.

There is a tape test from IPC in their TM-650 spec that can be downloaded for free from the ipc website. It will test for gold adhesion to the underlying nickel. Section 2.4.1E, I believe. It is quite simple to perform.
