Lead Free Solder Repair and rework presentation

This email is to give more information for the April 23rd repair seminiar. On April 23rd at Sprecher Brewery, the fine folks from BEST Solder will be presenting a four hour training seminiar dealing with Lead Free solder. One of the main focus's will be reworking thick, large ground plain circuit boards. Norm from Best will be presenting as many tricks of the trade as possible. This is no joke We have Norm and Bob for four hours please don't fool around with this event. This is a must attend event if you are doing any kind of lead free assemblies.

Half way through the presentation lunch will be provided by SAZ's famous BBQ. We will be having pulled pork and all the other wonderful items that make up a great BBQ. Once the presentation is complete we will be having our own private tour of the Sprecher brewery. Trust me when I say that the taste samples are really something to enjoy and behold.

The cost of this event is $30.00 for members and $40.00 for non members. This is a really cheap way to learn tricks for reworking lead free assemblies that just seem impossible to work. The event starts at 9:00 A.M. and ends somewhere around 2:00 P.M. We encourage all to sign up and enjoy this very rare chance to learn from some of the industries leading repair experts. We also encourage all to think of questions and email them to
