Hello troy,

    Your post peaked my interest, not because I know anything about oven
    soldering but because I'm just a pyro at heart. 

    I have a book that is pretty useful It's called the BRAZING MANUAL
    by the AWS (American Welding Society). After looking through it
    though I've determined IT IS a little to nerdy for me :o]. However I
    did a GOOGLE search using brazing instead of soldering and came up
    with all sorts of good hits. 

    Also I have a partial quote that may be of some use to you from the
    Handbook on Soldering and Other Joining Techniques from the World
    Gold Council. It states: "It has been recommended that by N. Krohn
    that the furnace temperature should initially be set at 38c (100f)
    above the flow temperature of the solder. If fixture boards are
    used, this should be increased to 66c (150f) on account of the
    thermal mass of the boards. Similarly, a stating belt speed should
    be about 25 cm (10 in) per minute or 20 cm (8 in) per minute for
    fixture boards." 

Hopefully some help

Sincerely,
