Hi John: Everything stayed in the Electrovert pot here but it did look a
little like a lava lamp on steroids. Other than a couple of boards
submarining into the solderpot all is well.
Got a few disturbed joints in the SMT reflow ovens, interesting effect.
Maybe we could use solderpots like the Richter scale. The farther solder is
thrown from the pot the greater the intensity of the quake. The square of
the distance from the pot equates to the magnitude or something like that.

Not a question for you, just a statement...
Try not to be around a wave solder machine when an earthquake hits! Our
solder bath (located in Seattle, Wa.) did it's impersonation of a Hawaiian
surfers dream. Fortunately the operators were at lunch. Solder spills were
found 6 feet away! Now it's clean up time...
