Abstract:
1. A method comprising the steps of: providing a sheet of elastomeric material; cutting a first incision along a surface of said material to form a first straight wall making an angle, α, with horizontal, said first incision describing a line along said surface of said sheet; cutting a second incision along said surface of said material to form a second straight wall making an angle, β, with horizontal, said second incision beginning at said line along said surface of said sheet, such that a slot is formed, said slot having a relatively large cross-section end that gradually narrows to a relatively small cross-section end opposed to said relatively large cross-section end, said relatively small cross-section end being located at said line along said surface of said sheet; and securing said sheet to a solder reservoir such that said relatively large cross-section end is in fluid communication with a bottom surface of said solder reservoir.
