The KISS-102 Selective Solder machine contains a pot of molten solder which must be regularly cleaned. In the video you can see “dross”, a layer of scum formed from oxides and other debris, being scraped off the surface of the pool of molten solder. This machine is an essential component of Adafruit’s manufacturing line, and one that requires consistent attention. We clean this machine before and after every use to make sure it’s always in top notch soldering condition.
