I wish I could say, 'just kidding'. (Joyce and Steve gasp in horripilation, and need first aid). You can have all kinds of technical support for production processes, but sometimes someone discovers something that "works really slick" for a problem, tells their coworkers, and they all start doing it without ever realizing that there may be bigger issues they aren't aware of and they should have gotten approval first. We learned of this totally by accident, when implementing some lean manufacturing techniques and controlling what tools are at their work space. They told us they needed this pen back at their station when it was removed, and we asked why... The consensus seems unanimous about the danger. Does anyone have any technical references they can share to help me back this up? -----Original Message----- From: Charles Caswell [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: October 11, 2002 7:26 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] no clean flux as a board cleaner?
