Typically lead is plated with tin. One problem with using just tin plating is that you can grow "wiskers" over time, and potentially develop a short somewhere on your PCB. SMTA is giving a presentation on the effects of lead-free solderability.

You need to cover the chipped areas with a protectant coating, like epoxy. Look here:http://www.circuittechctr.com/products/115-1322.shtml We have no relationship, nor receive benefit from the company referenced above.

Looks like we have been running the cure a little short (but only by about 44 min). I need to check if elevated temp shortens cure time to 1 min. at 700F! Thanks Dave, much appreciated Russ

If SMTnet posts listing from "Active threads from last 14 days", why are there listings from July still on the Forum?

IPC Class 1, 2 & 3 do not require side fillets. I think this statement is correct. But they define what is acceptable end joint widt and side over hang. regards,
