Subject: Re: Alternative Tinning Product -Liquid Tin

From: "kilocycles" <kilocycles@...>

In the 2006 catalog, page 1612, they now have "Liquid Tin" in a 4.2
oz. bottle for $8.35. They still have the 17 oz. one that you mentioned.

The question is, how far does it go? I wonder if you can just pour
out 1/2 ounce in a flat pyrex dish and lay the board copper side down
in it. I think I'll order some when I can think of something else I
need from Allied. Their prices are somewhat higher than Mouser on
things I typically get, but not as high as Digi-Key.

Cheers,
Ted
