pot
Hi Bev!
No I'm not pulling your leg. This was when
I was out in California working for Comptronix (they got bought by Sanmina).
I remember that I was sceptical too, molten solder in a cardboard
container, but it worked. The containers scorched a bit, but they held the
solder. Of course they didn't fill them very full, less than half-way up of a
1-gallon container.
I've got almost 1500-lbs. I've got to empty from
the pot, and I'm just trying to think of something that will make things go a
little quicker. I plan to reuse most of the solder in our new machine that
we're getting, along with some virgin bars. Our new wave has a 1800-lb. pot!

Steve,
Are you pulling our collective leg?!
Molten solder at 235C is darn close to good ole Fahrenheit
451 (good book). Yeah, yeah, I know it is cooling and is closer to 190
C, but... Or is this "can" treated with
non-flammable fillers and maybe a inner metal coating? Why not just
use new paint cans?
Bev

Subject: [TN] Emptying wave
solder pot
Hi All!
In a couple of weeks, I'm going to have
to empty the wave solder pot on our Treiber.
In the past, I
remember round cardboard containers being used to put the solder in after
ladling it from the pot. Does anybody know where I can get those?
Thanks!
