Hi all, Silly question, but I thought I would check with the experts. On a different forum someone was asking about putting in a fume hood for soldering. One responder said that you needed one to take care of the lead vapor, and if you used lead free solder you wouldn't need a fume hood. Now I never thought the lead vapor was much of a issue. Low vapor pressure even at 300 deg C and there is just not that much liquid anyway. I always thought the fume hood/exhasut fan was to take care of the nasty fluxes.
Thanks,
George
