You mean like a old electric frying pan some aluminum angle and a push stick and a dross stick???? All the boards I'm doing are small about 2x3" but I need to do about 500 of them. I'm just waiting for the boards to show up to try it. The angle needs just enough of a bend to get the board onto the minicus of the solder and about a 5 second push through is all it takes (or should). If I could work out a way to produce a wave it would make things easier too. The only thing I can think of trying is a perforated steel rod on the bottom of the pan with a nitrogen bottle supply. Like I said I don't know if this is going to work or if its a nifty sculpture. I looked all over for info on building a wave machine. Found a few on Ebay for about $400 but they were in Florida which would have been a killer for shipping.
