Thanks for the feedback, We don't use DEK or AIM, I saw DEK has black or white spatulas, didn't see green, and it seems like only from places out of UK. I've gotten the 1" wide green rounded ones from AIM in the past (including logo), but since I don

In piggy back on Chunks' comments, what you might wipe it with can be the problem. Alcohol absorbed by the solder paste inhibits the effectiveness of some cleaning chemistries, and driving it into the nooks and crannies exacerbates the problem. If

Thanks for your reply. As already said by Anvil1021, is not a good idea to mix Lead and Bismuth! Stay away from Bismuth if you have even the slightest traces of Lead on yours PCB, stencil, squeegee, spatula, blade, cleaning paper or cleaning cloths,

Would like to know what people are doing to differentiate their lead and lead free environments in their production areas. How do you keep it separated? What, if any, visual colors do you use to indicate a lead free area? Gray? Green? For instance, w

as most of our components are described in AML list, we can't play with that so much... so we focus on preparing the line tools/materials before the change (paste, spatulas, test pcb) - and Yes all the dressing for Juki is ready, for TCM most of the

Dave, There is not really a �smart� or scientific way to check this but I know of easy ways and very effective ways. Fex. an easy way to check is with a 3� spatula, you hold the spatula at the same angle as the board and drag trough the wave simula

Larry, the best paste thinner is the one that your paste supplier recommends. You should check with him. We have no problems removing the no-clean paste with alcohol. If you want to give it a try, make sure you use IP alcohol, not alcohol based flux

We use both, cartridges for water soluble and jars for no clean. The only reason we do is so they can't possibly (knocking on my head) mix it up. Pros: Jar - you can put paste back into it if you want to wash your stencil, change jobs after lunch,

So, why can't you clean misprints on Entek boards? Entek: Cheap, flat, OK shelf life, not without process and fabrication issues. Your Entek organic solderability protection is probably Entek Plus [CU106A] made by Ethone OMI. Consider getting a co
