So I figured out the reflow oven and have it operational, so now I'm  
investigating/experimenting with profiles etc.  Also ordering a  
thermocouple to profile the oven.

In the meanwhile though, I discovered that there are lower-temp solder  
pastes available nowadays, and some of these allow me to do lead-free  
with this oven.  But each type has it's pros and cons, and I'm  
wondering if anyone has any recommendations on specific brands/models  
they've used.  Should about 450 deg-F or less melting point (this oven  
should do 500 deg-F) with no-clean flux.  I may be okay with  
water-soluble flux too.

I really don't need lead free currently, but curious to run some tests  
and see how it works out.

Cheers,
-Neil.
