Also, I was beginning to think that the humidity level in the facility was a factor.. but I don't believe that's the case.. as this condition seems to occur regardless of the humidity level.. Equipment being used is as follows.. Metcal BGA 3500

Has anyone done a comparison between the newer Metcal APR-5000 BGA rework and Airvac DRS24? Were there significant advantages of Airvac over the Metcal that justify the cost delta? Rgds, Pete
