Hmm, for some reason Dale's reply didn't make it to me, so I'll use Roman's
quote

Yeah, sure we are doing it in a production environment, but I was more
thinking of the warning about having moisture impregnated fibreglass, and
wondering why your solder joints keep turning up as dry joints right at the
critical time in testing immediately before delivery :))) Certainly baking
the PCB's (well just put it in the oven after Mum has finished cooking
dinner, while the oven cools down) is worth doing to get around this
problem.
