Todd,

I have recently done some work modelling this situation, with a surface tension
modelling tool called Evolver, in order to understand the volumes of solder
over which a short is possible/inevitable. The results of this will be
published shortly in Journal of Electronic Manufacturing. If anyone has any
data which
I could compare with the models I would be very interested.
