I hear Pillarhouse is the "Yugo" of Select soldering! :) Chunks et al is correct that if the innards of the fluxing system are made of non-corrosive mat'ls, you should be okay. I used to deal with the original AT&T Spray fluxers and their spray no

I was the "victim" of an old soltec wave too, along with their DOS-based piece-of-dung software. We have since replaced it. Generally, I find the European equipment makers very weak in the software department. Good examples are DEKs and Soltecs. A

We started with SN100C from the very beginning when we purchased our selective solder machine. It has been working well for us. I can't speak to what happens when changing over to it, but I've heard of many companies using SN100C for selective sold
