Hello Technetters;

As Steve Gregory let slip last week, I am back on the job. I'm somewhat
inundated with catching up, so I had not checked back in on TechNet right away.

MANY THANKS for all the prayers and good wishes. They were felt and very much
appreciated by both my wife and me. I still have a good bit or soreness from the
trauma of the surgery, but in general, I feel very good.

Now back to the work/no clean thing:

I am asking a BIGGG favor!

I need to take a serious look at switching our process from a water soluble flux
soldering operation to a no clean one. Normally, I would put several cored wire
solders, liquid fluxes and solder pastes through a rigorous evaluation process.
That could be considered re-inventing the wheel, since many of you have probably
already done that.

If any of you have done this and could share the results (OFF-LINE, of course),
I would be greatly obliged.

I would like to know which brands, which model numbers, which alloys and under
what conditions they were tested, as well, of course, as the results.

THANKS A BUNCH!!!

Charlie B.
