How long after the onset of infection should you delay the administration of antibiotics? 24 hours is absolutely too long. 12 hours is definitely too long. 4 hours is becoming the new "standard". Some specs are beginning to call for one hour maximum. The right answer is to look towards tomorrow and accept that the parts should go directly from the plating line to the oven.  Ted Mooney, P.E.

I have seen 4 hours and 8 hours. I reccommend trying to get them to the oven as soon as possible. The longer the retention time is delayed, the longer the atomic hydrogen has to migrate into the substrate. Best of Luck. Ira Donovan, M.S.F.Kansas City, Missouri 2001 |
