Hi team! Just wanted to say "thanks" to everyone who assisted on this,
putting together everyone's ideas, I found a path to the end. The biggest
issue was the question Mike raised on the "Eutectic 157" which it appears
to have nothing to do with the specifications at all and is a product
reference to an acid flux formulation (which really should have never been
put into the drawing note in the first place). TechNet is sooo cool, such a
great wealth of information and assistance!
