Hey all...

The last couple of weeks have been interesting to say the least as far as my
wave soldering goes...(Hey Joyce! Any openings at your new place?...gofer',
janitor, anything?... ;^)...).

You may have read about my problems with the way pins connect to inner planes
and all that, but now the last few days I've been trying to wave assemblies
that have metal heat-sinks bonded to the top of the PCB with the PTH
components installed on top of the heat-sink and then into the PCB...

Again, I've tried everything that my feeble mind (at this point) can possibly
do to wave these bloody things...

I'm thinking that designs such as these cannot be wave soldered with any good
results. Am I wrong in thinking that? Do these designs have to be hand built?
Am I just spinning my wheels trying to wave solder them?

Gawd, I'm getting beat-up by so many people because I can't figure out how to
wave these pieces of...of...of..."work"...
