Yeepee ; "some" answers, finally .
Hey Phil : spot on ( this time ) ,[ despite having one of those AKA
wonders with fridge inside ( ersa hotflow )] .
No problems with FR4 stress on 30'C ; keep you posted if we crack a
track or two .
I just tried to be nice (for a change) and throw Brian a bite ; didn't
think he would be an exhibitionist worthy Jack's attention .
When you boost up your neurons (Phil); anybody , please :
what is , and the advantages of this dwell type pastes (no clean only) ?
I use just the standard missionary profiles > up & down , where does the
dwell apply ? Satellites ? Submarines ? 

Thanks a lot

PS
If anybody would have any reflection on P&P bulk feeders ; I would
appreciate them .

Thanks again
