That's your clue. Your reflow is running ~240*C and your soldering iron is running ~370*C. Dial-up the heat.

I assumed he intended to glue the nut to the part, turn the board upside down and run it through. Thing is, you might seriously have to crank up the heat to get it to reflow with that big sink on there.

1/4-20 would be unlikely to fit on an 0603 is all. I have to admit that when he first brought up the hardware theme I kept visualizing a jack screw assembly but the results I envisioned were less than ideal.

Be careful of inverted homeplates if you hand clean your stencils. The "spikes" can easily catch on the wipe being used and bend up. Not to mention the nice slashing it does on your hand that immediately some how fills with solder paste.

Help us understand your question better by answering the following: * What is a 'used PCBA'? [Are these boards returned from a customer?] * What is on these boards that needs to be cleaned? * How clean do the boards need to be? How is this cleanline
