Thomas-

    We do use Kleenox to de-dross our solder pot.  Its effects as an ongoing preventer of dross are
questionable as it seems to burn off after about an hour (our pot is at 475F).  It is effective in
separating the dross from the solder when actually removing the dross.  The stuff needs to be mixed in
thoroughly with the dross and the dross seems to separate rather easily from the rest of the solder.  Its
cost seems to be less than that of more solder additions and more frequent dross shipments for reclamation.
