[sdiy] ROHS PCBs

[Greg James]

OK - so I've managed to collect myself into a corner, primarily due to my
addiction to Jurgen Haible's prolific kit generating PCB operation.

My question is: What risk do I take if I can't build these ROHS PCBs in the
next year or two? Are they worthless after a few years sitting on the shelf
unsoldered? Given that I'm in the US, is leaded solder any help down the
road (I read that lead solder on ROHS PCBs is OK, but not the other way
around)? Is there some magic solvent I can buy that will "rejuvenate" or
"reactivate" the PCBs?

Any suggestions, info, help would be great. I know that ROHS is still fairly
new, so maybe there isn't much practical experience with this question. But
I'm hoping some of you out there that make a living dealing with this stuff
might have some insights.

Thanks,

Greg
