Here are the nozzles that soaked, but didn't get tinned. Since the solder joints also had yellow, I am wondering if the contamination is lingering in the solder pot, and getting on the joints. The Superior is never applied to a board. In the board

Dreamsniper, The optimum contact (dwell) time in the wave should be 2 seconds. Contact band width is a function of conveyor speed. For an example, 5cm of contact band width at 150cm/min. conveyor speed will give you 2 seconds of contact time and 2cm

The gold is compatible with your solder. Gold will dissolve in your solder very quickly. Assuming you have a fairly large [~ couple hundred pounds] solder pot, the gold will not, over the short term, affect the performance of the pot. The issue is

No, we haven't compared bills because we rarely let it cool completely down over night. I would think that the cost needed maintaining 200C over night versus 310C over night would be about the same, but a little less. But going from 25C up to 3

Ok smartbutt, you can play evil guru all you want, but you cant dispute math which is a constant thing even on your side of the planet - which you think is the smartest. Letdo the math shall we? Even you have to turn your pot on to solder. You hav
