  Subject: [TN] Emptying Wave Solder Pot...An Epilog


  Hi All!!

  First I want to thank everybody for their suggestions when I was asking about emptying a wave solder pot.

  Now the good news, it's a done deal! WOO-HOO!!!

  Followed Ed's advice, got me some "Bakers Secret™" large loaf pans, and set-up a heavy duty cart with metro-rack shelving sitting on top of 1/2" plywood, so as to allow air circulation underneath. 

  Got 3 floor fans and put them around the cart to cool my "loaves". Only filled the pans up halfway, and it only took about 5-8 minutes for them to cool enough where they could be released from the pans...the teflon coating in the pans works like a dream! Should have video-taped everything, it would've made a great commercial testifying how tough "Bakers Secret™" baking pans are, might have made a few bucks off of that...hehehe.

  Didn't use Ed's suggestion about water cooling the pans, if it was just me emptying the pot I might have, but there were others involved as well. I KNOW what happens when water and molten solder meets, don't we Ed?
