Hi all,

How well do SMT electrolytics (the silver can type) stand up to heat
during soldering in a toaster oven? I have had to rework a part on a
small board and it has been in the toaster oven 4 times now :) The
board is looking a little charred but everything still works, but I am a
bit concerned about the internals of the caps.. thanks,

cheers,
Jamie Morken
