| At this moment in time we are using water soluble solder paste on our PCBs these are cleaned using water only, agitated with ultrasonics. After drying a white/grey residue is left around solder joints. Reflow profile is fine and a reliable wash pro

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

Help, experiencing discolor of a white solder resist paint after reflow of 250 degree, it turned yellow. Have tried many paints, no luck. Anyone knows one that wouldn't change color and holds the white nicely? Thanks for your support in advance.

What type of residue is it. Are you sure its not the solder mask turning white? Odd that it would only be on the bottom...

Today the line experienced the white gloves turns green at the point of contact when holding fresh board that came out from wave soldering. Was that the effect of inproper solder mask curing at PCB house during fabrications ? For a proper cured solde

I wanted to bump this up. I am having the same problems. I cannot convince folks it is a solder mask issue and not our process issue, even though it shows up after wave and wash. I can heat the boards and even send them back through the wave preheate
