    It works very nicely with good temperature profile control. If you want
professional and repeatable results you need a good temperature controller
and the right temperature "ramps" troughout the soldering process, with
pre-heat, flux activation, reflux and colling. I have been using it for
quite a while and the results are basically comparable to a 5 zone reflow
oven !!

    Take a look at yahoo groups and you will find a group called ez-bake
where you should find all that you need to know and a little more. The group
is basically inactive for a while because all the answers are already there.
If you have any other questions after looking at the messages I can probably
help you out...

Best regards,
Alexandre Guimaraes
