The only thing ammonia can do is tarnish copper and make it more difficult to solder. And the higher temp in lead-free will discolor the latex (giving it a sticky surface), but the functionality of the mask will be intact. There should be greater co

Good work! We have a product we've been using a table top latex masking robot we built in house to mask keep out areas. If we could apply what your doing we can eliminate the buffer of dry time on the masking. Any information you can provide on the

Some peelable solder masks attack immersion finishes. It appears components in the peelable soldermask, such as ammonia, are not very friendly to these particular surface finish. [We've wanted to investigate the effect of mask application thickness

Dave F, We are currently using a latex based ambient/thermal cure material that is applied by hand or automated dispensing equipment. Printing is an option for us, but we have not had much luck with this particular material. The mask is peeled off a
