When you say something went wrong in the screening process, do you mean that the paste is splashed (prior to reflow)?

I am using TopazX2, placing 0603 caps with #72 FNC nozzles. Sometimes, there is solder splash around the caps, being blowed out by the nozzle (?) when it placed the part down. Any idea about the reason and solution. Thanks.

Hi Dave, Thanks on your feedback, May I know the how's the contributing of Moisture content of bare board and the Thickness of the copper plating in the PTH to the solder ball and solder splash during hand soldering process ?

One of the common causes of solder ballin is also outgassing from the boards have your tested the board for outgassing? Bob Willis

I haven't, that is a good idea, I was reading about the chance of that earlier but I was not sure. The best way to eliminate is to bake the board?

Hi, try a low spitting cored wire...something like ALMIT SR-LA cored wire...or SR-LA SUPER...it eliminates flux/solder spitting during soldering.
