A thought, try calling Kester or your local solder dist. They may be able to help.

Hi Bev!
No I'm not pulling your leg. This was when I was out in California working for Comptronix (they got bought by Sanmina).
I remember that I was sceptical too, molten solder in a cardboard container, but it worked. The containers scorched a bit, but they held the solder. Of course they didn't fill them very full, less than half-way up of a 1-gallon container.
I've got almost 1500-lbs. I've got to empty from the pot, and I'm just trying to think of something that will make things go a little quicker. I plan to reuse most of the solder in our new machine that we're getting, along with some virgin bars. Our new wave has a 1800-lb. pot!

Steve,
Are you pulling our collective leg?! Molten solder at 235C is darn close to good ole Fahrenheit 451 (good book). Yeah, yeah, I know it is cooling and is closer to 190 C, but... Or is this "can" treated with non-flammable fillers and maybe a inner metal coating? Why not just use new paint cans?
Bev

Hi All!
In a couple of weeks, I'm going to have to empty the wave solder pot on our Treiber.
In the past, I remember round cardboard containers being used to put the solder in after ladling it from the pot. Does anybody know where I can get those?
Thanks!
