I'd guess that "black pad" is not the issue that you need to address, because only 2 of your 5 test points has the problem that we seem to be discussing. I'd expect "black pad" problems to be more wide spread. Something is going on at those two locat

Here's what I believe is happening. The main difference between the HASL boards and the gold plated boards is that HASL boards are pre-soldered. HASL boards need very little flux activity to get good hole fill and the machine settings have a wide pro
