Tom,

There are differences between plate and hot dip soldering.  Hot dip provides a better coverage of
the base with less opportunity for oxide development because of the uniformity of the coating and
less porosity than plating.  Additionally, it gives a better cosmetic finish that is shinier than
plated.

Of course, we are flux manufacturers and biased, but our feelings are also reflected by companies
that used to plate and have switched to soldering.
