agree with Phil and Mike ;
most of the forum once seeing realistic answer backs off ;
which is exactly how it should work .

Just on Mike's line ; make sure you give operators surgical gloves ;
they cheap, comfy, and keep the fine mesh size balls OUT OF THE PORES IN
SKIN ;
traditional washing before eating is good enough for solder wire ;
not for the paste . Seeing your own palm under microscope is quite
educational .
Regardless how short is the exposure

See you

Subject: [TN] underside wiper rolls


Hi everyone!

I sent this last week and I only got one response.  Help!!!!!!

I know a lot of techies have underside wipe on screen printers.
My production supervisor wants to throw the wipes away and I am not
comfortable
with that idea.

I got Alpha Fry to agree to accept the wipes with the solder paste waste,
but my
boss says that is unacceptable.

Help!!!!  What do you do with your rolls of underside stencil wipes?

My question is about rolls of used underside wipe for screen printers.

What are the requirements for handling?  Is it considered hazardous waste?

What are proper disposal procedures?
