Hi Cecil, We using conformal coating in our manufacturing area, we did use to use Humiseal, others have been Bectron and Peters. We recentalt switched all lacquering to Peters, since it is lead free and it is a lot friendly than Humiseal. To answer

Steve, I have done countless board profiling and oven reflow profiles. Here are the critical factors on you need to address. What is your board surface finish, if it is something like an OSP it will need a good amount of an active (aqueous) flux to

Why in heavens name are you using a heat or air cure conformal coating. Why aren't you using a 100% solids UV cure system. You would never have an issue like this Sam Forman MicroCoat Technologies
