Hi Eric,

You might want to clarify this.  You can solder the Atlas using lead
based solder paste in a reflow oven.  I think the problem comes in
when you are using *non-lead* solder paste for RoHS - the process uses
higher temperatures than the FR4 is supposed to handle.

As I understand it, there is no problem with using lead based solder
paste methods in the oven or hotplate method with the Atlas - Lyle can
give us the details and correct me if I am wrong about the 400 board
Atlas run.
