Your kidding right? You really believe soldering leads to a hydrogen rich
atmosphere?

I don't know. I just mentioned that hydrogen *could* be released from flux.
I do know that one way of preventing copper to oxidize while soldering, is
to create an environment without oxygen but *with* a hydrogen or ammonia
atmosphere, to convert any copper oxides back to copper.
