On the paper.  I originaly planned to measure each chemical out before combining them but then just ended up combining them.
So no reason other than the dramatic effect.  :)

No, the oven part isn't neccessary.  I use the oven because I have a small lab oven that was easily available.  I just wanted to make sure all the moisture was removed before I soldered on it.  I didn't have much time to work on this.  

Without compressed air or an oven it takes a little while for the moisture in the through holes to dry.

The oven had nothing to do with the tin plating.
