LOL, well now you know. >X-D

There are a lot of professionals here... and a lot of hobbyists. And, a
number of those professionals would not be opposed to using hobbyist
techniques for production purposes!

While a number of hobbyist wouldn't object either to using professional
tools for single units :-)

Hi Tim,
I used to bring my board to this small shop but the time and cost was not
balanced. Either A. I will not get my board by deadline period or B. the
cost was like around 20-40 bucks a board per reflow. Plus on my end the
time to make sure the board is reflow properly. That why in the mean time I
should invest on a 5 zone reflow oven, I have a lot of my client there
demand is (TIME)and the faster I get it done and professional the success
my business will come. If my investment fail then beat it.

A number of professionals *are* hobbyists and vice versa.
