Hi Dave Sounds like what we call a "squeeze ball". Usually caused by excess paste squeezed over the mask between the pads of the component when placed. This sometimes escapes the pull of surface tension back to the fillet and escapes to the side, us

Hello Grant, There is nothing impolite about your post: 1) Almost all of the German made machines are 100% German. (well, Siemens uses American software and for that they did not extend to us an offer!) 2) Since the U.S., and thanks to Bush and h
