I know this is a bit of a strange request, but you never know if you don't
ask.

I built a SMT reflow oven around a PIC16F84 and a fan-forced toaster oven.
I've tested the controller by using it to "reflow" old PC I/O cards but
never used it on a "virgin" PCB.

Does anybody have any spare, excess, or obsolete "virgin" smt PCBs that they
are willing to donate. I don't care what the functionality of the board is,
I just want to test the quality of the solder joints. The next step is to
ensure that I'm not "over-cooking" the components.

Alternatively, does anyone have other suggestions on what I may do to prove
my reflow oven.

I plan to use the oven for small production runs, but don't want to debug it
by toasting PICs and other components.

Thanks for you ear.
