As a rule handling PCB's with bare hands is acceptable provided that there is sufficient esd protection as well. It is a good rule of thumb however to provide your inspectors or assembly people with finger cots or cotton gloves to keep the product cl

Benji: I tend to agree with you that assemblers shouldn't wear make-up. I'm unsure what first level assemblers are tho. I've been down that finger cot/glove route ... 1 If someone is going to smear facial or cosmetic oil on a board, they can do

I have had success by applying the paste flux with my finger, using a finger cot and spreading it on the PCB. This seems to put it on more consistently than using a brush.

Years ago we hired a consultant who helped try to resolve our high solder defect rates. He recommended the use of finger cots - $50,000 in consulting fees later, we still had the same defects.
