Steve is right, why risk cross contamination and suffer real legal battles from your RoHS customers you guarantee lead free to. Al is also right. If your customer knows they are pulling the wool over the RoHS watchful eyes, why would you want to

I am considering moving my spray fluxer into a completely separate operation. Has anybody any comments of sraying VOC free flux on boards, then putting them in a drier/holding rack for possibly say overnight, then running them through wave solder?

800 degrees? Ouch! I find that every company that I do training for has at least one person that likes to go through one tip a day. The solution is tip tinning. Tell your operators to wipe the tip on a damp sponge often. Do not buy your sponges
