Hi Victor! Finally got your picture posted, just got home from my first day of work at my new job in Idaho...it's been a long trip from Tallahassee! Anyways, here's the photo: http://stevezeva.homestead.com/axial_lead_-_90_degree_radius_engulfed_in_solder.JPG Long file name I know, I thought about cutting it down so it wouldn't word-wrap, but I left it the same as what you sent me. I think I would let this go as it is. Yeah, a little more solder than you would like to see, but it doesn't touch the component body, and I think you would be risking more problems trying to remove this solder rather than just leaving as it is... Steve P.S. I can's subscribe to TechNet from my new work email. Listserv doesn't even acknowledge an email sent to it. Think it may have to be something that I have to talk with the IT guy about. But I still get TechNet at my own personal email account... ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service.
