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.

We have encountered what appears to be mask discoloration after wave soldering. The areas of concern coincide with the areas that were exposed selectively by fixtures during wave soldering, dominated by one date code of PCB with a slightly different

Peter are you having fun with solder masks erwat? We saw this years ago with LPI solder masks. It shows occasionally with other masks. We agree with Russ. If nothing [eg, alcohol, flux thinner, acetonitrile, or water] dissolves the haze, then it

I am having cleaning problems when processing PCB's which have TAIYO solder mask on them. After processing, hand soldering and cleaning, a sticky residue is remains, resulting in a cosmetically poor finish with tide marks etc. Other soldermasks do no

Does anybody know how to remove solder mask from pads that were masked over.

Am looking for a dispensable water soluble solder mask or peelable solder mask that can be dispensed and be run through a reflow oven with no swelling or degradation. Any leads on any materials or manufacturers to contact?

Thanks Tim. Additional thoughts are: * We've talked here on SMTnet about hole fill previously. * That your ability to get hole fill is probably limited by mask in the hole makes us very uneasy, because hole could have varying levels of solder mask i

Just out of curiosity - what is the rationale behind specifying mask thicknes?

Excessive mask thickness also can wreak havoc on stencil printing.

Hi, I am currently using a peelable mask prior to wave soldering and have started exploring water soluble/washable masks. The mask will be used with water based and alcohol based flux. Are there any compatability issues to concider and how will this
