Josh: This is your choice. It wouldn't be mine. Again, I have been doing this for well over 40 years (http://www.m-coat.com) Sam

Can anyone tell me if there is a volume difference between a pound of lead vs. lead free solder? Does lead free solder attack stainless or castiron when it's not molten? Thanks. Jay

You are technically correct eutectic Sn/Pb was discovered by the ancient Egyptians in (XXX) BC much longer then 20 centuries. I was just referring to soft soldering in the electronics assembly industry :-).

Some companies claimed their lead free solders wouldnt attack stainless steel, frankly they do and they should not be allowed to get away with these claims. Lead Free does not attack Cast iron

Would i be able to use the cast iron pot from my electrovert with out any problems? I thought the tin would dissolve the iron in the pot? This lead free thing is a headache!

It could be that the Sn96 has dissolved the Tin rapidly and gone for the Copper. What dwell times are they using with the irons? Probably better off using a Tin Copper alloy for reduced dissolution worth a try Cheers Greg

Dave was that a no-clean flux residue? And if so alcohol or VOC free (water based)

Hi Patrick, Sorry, it should be Intel's Southbridge BGA instead of Intel's Northbridge BGA.. Thanks, Sean

Patrick: The flux was OA, but you can get the same result with low residue flux.

Patrick I can only agree with you about low residue (alcohol based) fluxes, providing you apply the amount specified by the supplier. Amounts in excess of the specified amount can have harmful effects.
