ABSTRACT A mass wave soldering system is described in which the circuit boards being soldered are transported on a conveyor moving in a horizontal travel path through the crest of a standing solder wave wherein the bottom of the boards are engaged with molten solder. A fluid stream is directed onto the bottom of the board substantially immediately after the board emerges from the solder wave. The fluid stream relocates solder on, and/or blasts excess solder from the bottom of the board and any inter- connections, component leads and component bodies carried thereon before the solder solidifies as shorts, icicles or bridges. Preferably, but not necessarily, the fluid, which may comprise a gas or mixture of gases, is heated prior to contacting the board. If desired, liquid droplets such as soldering oil may be included in the fluid stream.
