Thanks for the info on profiling pcb's.  It helped me confirm that the process of profiling that I am using is typical.  Another question, I am being approached to figure out a way to run pcb's through the solder wave that have widths of 8" or greater without titanium stiffeners or pallets.  I don't believe it can be accomplished from my personal experience.  There will always be bowing of the board through the solder wave process.  Due to the bowing of the board, the speed of the waves would have to be lowered.  By doing this,  smt parts on the bottom side along the conveyor edges would have quite a few of no solders.  Any help in this area would be appreciated.
