Hi all,
I was thinking about trying tin plating PCBs the "hard way". That is, making some Sn alloy melt in an ad hoc pan, then once it's all nicely melted, plunging the PCB in it for a few seconds (maybe just making it "float" above the melted alloy would be good). Pre-heating the copper might help too.
Has anyone tried it yet? I was thinking about using some soldering alloy with no Pb at all to do this (97% Sn, 3% Cu).
It doesn't seem that hard to do; any idea/advice?
