Hello everyone! As a new member I am going to put this new tool to the test immediately. I work for a small company in Florida, and we build mainly defense product for the government. We have a big problem hopefully someone can help with. We are currently building a product that has through hole cylindrical type hollow pins inserted into a printed circuit board then soldered into place. (solder is not allowed to make contact with the inside wall of the hollow pins). We are allowed only minimal amount of solder. It is extremely difficult to achieve this while maintaining 75% fill of solder in the board. I have heard of something called solder doughnuts that will allow us to flow the same amount of solder each time but have been unsuccessful in locating them. Any advise would be helpful. Thanks!
