If the mask is not cured and is coming off in the pot I don't see how it is protecting anything. If you want to mask something fast you need to use tape not liquid mask that requires cure. My $.02.

Are these molten solder bubbles, or another substance "foaming" up on the surface?

Hi, I think they are a bit of both. When they pop the bubbles something like a foam is generated.

Poor training. Don't blame the operator, he was either shown this or left to his own devices. Be the better man and provide him a better process. Regular old peelabale solder mask would be a start.

Are you analyzing the solder in-house, or sending it to a lab? Our lab report gives the acceptable range, and our measured value.

I'm sure this isn't the same situation, but we did have a selective solder machine with crazy dross and solder ball build up. Turns out the operator switched the low pressure nitrogen line used for solder level and the high pressure nitrogen line fo

In a previous lifetime, we had a selective solder machine where I would see solder splashes in the roof of it. I thought someone might have been putting the solder extremely high. But when it was melting there would be bubbles that burst. The manufac

I witnessed this at our sister company. It seems to be their standard process. It is not my place to interfere with their processes. I was just curious if there was any chance of brittle solder joints or other defects that might be caused from the WS
