Would this necessarily mean that it was a late stage testing prototype perhaps? T…
Simply put, if you turn on a fan to blow fumes from your nose while you solder, and if you then wash your hands after your solder job is done, you need not worry one bit about pois…
The author of this thread will not be convinced by any of this, but I offer it for the rest of you interested in knowing the caveats of going Pb-free in your soldering work:

As much as I hate inkjet printers (its ok, the plotter makes up for that ), it sounds like quite a setup. Speaking of trackballs, as much as I used to like putridpads a few ye…
