Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Tin - Plating

I like re-flow solder much better.

I haven't tried my process with the lead-free solder
yet, but I suspended the board in peanut oil and
heated it.

Then I would lift it out and melt some solder on it.

I'd put it back to attempt to re-flow the solder.

I'd take it out and use a damp rag and smear it over
the board.

Repeat if necessary.
