Kester recommends that we store our 1400 gm tubes on the tip. Our documentation is based on their recommendation. The Alpha past we used was stored horizontally, but that was because the flux readily separated from the metal.

Thank you very much for sharing this information. It is difficult to gain knowledge in this area independently. I'll contact Kester for information on adjusting the flux density and which "thinner" to use since I am using their flux. I really like

Our SMT production and storage area is air-conditioned, constant temperature is maintained but the humidity is not controlled , the raw SMT material is stored in a "Drier" cabinet, but since we assemble hybrid SMT and thru-hole PCB assemblies, the SM

Thanks for the tip! Do you find the boards require any cleanup after exiting the wave with the Superior 420-XF-LF?
