Both "moisture content of bare board" and the "thickness of the copper plating in the PTH" are related to each other. As you heat the solder connection, moisture in the board boils and out-gasses through the solder connection. Plating with the proper

Umar - the boards are not assembled - so Solder splash is not applicable. Solder resist does not Melt it cures. As a board supplier I would not want my clients to adapt if they are receiving crap product, I would expect them to leave.
