Additional to Dave F.... A potato has Iron @ 2.75mg and Magnesium @ 55mg. The leaching of these two meatls could contaminate the solder pot and taint the solder. ----------------------- Additional to my additional..THE SOLDER POT POTATO BATTERY...A p

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

Hi, We are currently soldering only connectors, so there is not that much to do. For the wave we currently use palettes as we solder PCI cards but don't want to wash. So the palette keeps the flux off the board. My reasons for looking at changing o

Hello Sergey, I have used Kirsten Modula Wave with ADL (anti dross liquid) option. We have had the same expectation like you: less dross and lower operation cost due to no inert gas is required. That is achieved, the dross generation was modest and t

Most pots have a drain system, but that is a scary thing to use. I have seen places that have plumbed it nicely with ball valves and such to control the flow into small containers, but still fraught with danger. I use small metal bread pans. I lad

Problem with cleaning these machines is once you start it's easy to get carried away. ;) We cleaned our SPA-400F a few months ago, had been offline for a while as we were using our SPA-250. It started as just a clean and to replace all the flux pip

Hello All, We have a small selective solder machine from RPS, a Rhythm SS, purchased used with SN100C in pot. For a couple of years we have used this machine and gotten good results. We have been adding SN995 to the pot as it needed more solder. Then
