We have retaped the components ourselves or had a tape house do it for us and we have on the more expensive components hand placed them in a couple of instances, this is not a common solution and only should be done as a damage control procedure.

Chrissie, what type of equipment do you have? Is your tape PSA (pressure sensitive) or HSA (heat sensitive)? Jason

We typically do not try to pick up and hand placve chip resisstors and capacitors. The risk and cost is too high for components that are a penny or less. We take into consideration that on many of our components, someone will have to test them to v
