Hi Steve
We use bread pans, teflon coated. Pour it in, let it cool, flip it over and pop - a nice solder loaf.
Have a good weekend.

Hi Bev!
No I'm not pulling your leg. This was when I was out in California working
for Comptronix (they got bought by Sanmina).
I remember that I was sceptical too, molten solder in a cardboard container,
but it worked. The containers scorched a bit, but they held the solder. Of
course they didn't fill them very full, less than half-way up of a 1-gallon
container.
I've got almost 1500-lbs. I've got to empty from the pot, and I'm just trying
to think of something that will make things go a little quicker. I plan to
reuse most of the solder in our new machine that we're getting, along with
some virgin bars. Our new wave has a 1800-lb. pot!
