I usually see this with mask that is not fully cured from the PCB shop. This probably agrees with the baking statement that you made.

Looks like a simple variance in the solder mask discoloring. Shawn

You're correct. It's a peculiar looking defect. With measling, we expect to see discrete white spots or crosses just below the surface of the base material. We don't see that here. We do see a similar condition at almost every PTH in the picture, a

Hi Ralf, This discoloration may be re-oxidation. Fluxes are supposed to do three things (1) remove oxide, (2) promote wetting, and (3) protect surface from reoxidation. The solder paste possibly is not protecting from reoxidation. Best Regards, St

You guys are all joking right?! There aren't any contaminates in your solder, the different colors on the surface are completely normal and even expected. The top layer of solder oxidizes and the structure of the surface resembles crystals, refract

you would be best to get this from your paste/solder manufacture. but here are some rules of thumb: -Solder paste out of fridge before use - get out the night before needed.. don't let your op's warm on the oven!! you will regret that! if not over ni
