Al,

We use "Preleg" wire, which fits your description, but all of our 
wire-adds are done after wave soldering. According to a data sheet which 
I've just referred to, the melting point of the adhesive is 356 
Fahrenheit.

You could try contacting Preleg, Inc. at 2701 Ivy lane, Englewood, 
Florida, 34224.

Regards,

Andy Linahan

     Does anyone have a better method for attaching 28awg. 

Tefzel rework/ECO wires to the primary side of a PCB 

assembly prior to wave solder. Present method is to attach 

wires with Loctite 382 using an accelerator. This method 

works fine, but is too time consuming.



     Using hot melt wax is just as time consuming, and won't 

stand up under wave temperatures.



     I heard some info. about 6 months ago, about wire with 

an adhesive on it that is applied to the board surface with 

a heated tip (soldering iron type)



     Anyone heard of this, or has a better method please let 

me know.



                                   Thanks,
