Reflow Oven
Several of the members have expressed interest in a new reflow oven, and so we're doing a pledge drive, organised by Matt.
We're looking to raise £160 for an Infra-Red chip heater, which is apparently better than a standard reflow oven. The device will also do correct temperature curves for chip drying and should be significantly better and more accurate than a toaster oven. Seeing as the toaster oven we currently have trips the breakers it can't be a bad idea!
Any extra funds will go towards materials and tools for it, such as solder paste, fine syringes with fine filler tips, etc.

The device will be bought once the lowest price is obtained, likely towards the end of the month.
