VERY interesting.  Is there a chance this approach might finally quiet my
neighbor's DOG?

James,

I am sure you are in violation of one or more state and federal laws.
Obviously you are polluting the neighborhood at large and the world as a
whole!!!!!!!!    :-)  :-)

Now you have incriminated yourself.  Oh well.

73, and Merry Christmas to all.

Milt, N5IA

Outgassing is a good reason to wear eye protection when soldering larger
diameter holes on a PCB, where there can be more solder & the space for
a bigger bubble to form that expands when heated & can discharge the
solder like a molten round.

Happened to me at work once, assembling terminals that I would later
find in use at banks over here in VR.  The crater the solder ball's
impact created thankfully was in the white of my eye.
