So you mean wave soldering or just tinning. Well that's great but not
for small batch and one off stuff. Many of use use a syringe to place
dots of paste by hand, then tweezers to place the components and then
a toaster oven or domestic iron to reflow the solder. I'm thinking of
a machine that can do the solder application at extreme speed and
minimum cost. Just a thought experiment really.
