J-STD-001 contains a list of Solder contamination limits and 
     notes following the list.  I would like to hear some expert 
     opinions about the meaning of the notes.  MIL-STD-2000A's 
     list and J-STD-001'S list are the same.  Do both documents 
     limit "going out of the box" to develop a dross inhibitor?  
     Is there truly an "other column" for insignificant 
     contaminants that would not show up on samples for solder 
     contaminants?  Where does the dross blanket draw the line, 
     on oil?  If dross and lead oxides are in the pot, and a 
     method could be used to prevent this or make a significant 
     reduction, it would seem like from a continuous improvement 
     stand point it should be done/tested.  I would appreciate 
     very much responses from J-STD-001 Authors and solder 
     experts.  Thank you in advance.  Mail can be sent direct via
