Rob: How do you rework blow-holes and pin-holes? PTH plating thickness SB 1 thou or greater. Epoxy is hydroscopic. So, you should control the environment and/or bake the moisture from the boards before soldering. Search the fine SMTnet Archives f

Generally speaking with most electronic grade epoxies: 1. Cure time is a function of temperature. 2. Polymer bonds begin to quickly break down above certain temperatures (product specific). I believe aprox 170-180C. The strength of the bond de

I am going to agree with Rob a little. It is also possible that a internal ground plane might be under or connected to the pads of this cap thus causing a increase in temp to this part during reflow. This can cause parts on occasion to jump from the
