Do you buy in the PCB's from a manufacturer? If so, they may well offer such a service for you. We get quite a few different boards that come with either Kapton tape, or liquid masking already applied.

Hi, Our assembly process involves applying Kapton tape to the back side of our device, a laborious cutting and sticking operation. We are scaling up from "cottage industry" so I'm interested to know if you can buy Kapton shapes on a reel cut to our s

First of all, do not use kapton tape! It tends to cause a dewetting effect around the tape. A call to Humiseal will explain why. There's not really a blanket answer to your question.... Removing cured liquid mask can often result in a fillet ef

Can anyone give me suggestions on tape used for masking. Of course, I am looking for the "perfect tape" that sticks well, is flexible, offers lubricity for rubbing the tape, does not leave adhesive, easily removed for demasking, and won't leacvh any

ATS-667 tape. You can buy direct http://www.ats24.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=content.display&contentid=50 or through distribution such as All-Spec. Polyester film with rubber resin adhesive (no silicone) = clean mask lines. Call for a sample.
