Dason, I apologize if some of the information sounds redundant but I don't think I explained my point very well (and the standard can get really confusing at times). I definitely agree with using C-SAM to look for internal defects. My only advise i

Rob: Someone's out there turning over stones, eh? Roller Tinning, Rolled Solder. In printed circuit fabrication, a surface coating of tin-lead, typically 1-2 microns thick, applied to preserve solderability. Still available from some fabricators
