Steve,

I'm 120% with you.  I, too, am concerned with the "mandated" switch to
lead-free.  Clearly we can't shut down the leaded operation on Friday
and start the lead-free operation on Monday.  Around here I'm viewed as
the King of Pessimists, but for good reason.  I don't want to be the guy
who has to tell management that the lead-free solder pot in the wave has
to be completely emptied and refilled with new lead-free solder because
someone contaminated it with 63/37.

Hi All!

I've got a problem that I've been worrying about all weekend. It may
come  to
pass that we will be building both lead-free, and standard 63/37
stuff...whoa is me.

I'm interested in stories from those that have done that...what the hell
did
you do?

Is this something that can be done? It probably can, but me, being the
pessimistic sort, thinks that you're just asking for trouble when you
try to mix
the two...
