I was wondering how hard it would be to make a homebrew vapour phase oven, to avoid the problems with very cheap conventional batch ovens, in particular uniformity. I've seen a reference here to a pasta cooker VP setup, but the image link is dead no

98% to 99% pass yield should be your target. The previous company I worked for, we were able to meet these goals with most all of our products. It took us some years to achieve this level of pass rate. Of course analyzing and good reporting from some
