until I saw the birthday announcement at the bottom and that picture

Am I looking at the wrong picture? I don't see the announcement your talking about Grelko. Maybe my phone got messed up from that update more than I thought.

It was back on the 11th. I should have said "at the bottom, a few days ago"

Aahhh OK got you! Thanks Grelko. I thought for a second that might have been a friendly *** at the beard! :lol: :lol:

I don't guess that's real good sign of years though. Specially since I've got a lot more platinum in mine than Kurt does. Or was it rhodium. Hmm, may be time for another assay!

No complaints here. Just no beard for me, seeing that I tried to grow one for about 6 months and it wasn't even an inch long :| I wouldn't even poke fun at the platinum. :lol: My hair's been pretty much grey on the sides since back in middle school and with my widows peak, some of my school pictures looked like a mix between Bela Lugosi and Eddie Munster. :mrgreen:
 
Kurt, these copper wires come from bottom of black part of BGA, they are stuck in there and ripped off from green part when separating. I too prefer to keep them separately from bonding wires when washing and got simple technique for that. I mentioned that in my big thread in this post :arrow: http://goo.gl/ZmwlPH

It can be done when material is wet or dry but I do prefer dry variant. Take pan or round shaped container and put powder inside and shake it to make swirling motion. Wires will start accumulating in the middle on top. I do collect them, put aside and repeat... You can get rid of most of them prior washing concentrate on your washing table.
 
Yep, perspective is an amazing thing. From the looks of the wires on your miller table I would have guessed there must have been 3-5ozt there. Great job however. Nice to see someone pursuing a system for processing chips on a larger scale. Also nice to know I had some input into it. Keep up the good work my friend!

Thanks for the tip (link to your post) I am not sure how I missed that as I try to read everything you post - I will certainly give that a try (the dry shaking method) the next time I am doing a batch of BGAs
