Anyone doing vapor phase soldering?  Several years ago I saw a
vapor phase prototyping system that consisted of a Pyrex beaker with a
condensor around the top.  You put "stuff" in the bottom and bring it to
a boil.  A layer of vapor forms between the surface of the stuff and the
condensor.  You dip the boards (though not with your fingers!) with
solder paste mounted parts into the vapor for a few seconds.  I think
this was made by a solder company (Kester, maybe), but haven't seen it
since.
        Vapor phase soldering really makes a lot of sense to me.  It
seems that everything is very quickly brought up to the same temperature.
 I think this contrasts nicely against infrared or toaster ovens... but
I've never used any of them!
