It depends on the carbon polymer that the fabricator printed on your board. It could be: * No wave soldering * Wave soldering with a peelable mask * Wave soldering ... probably one of the latter two. Watch it. Some temporary masks can affect the

For dots this size I have applied a thin coat of Chemtronics CM8, let set 10 mins then waved. The preheaters finished the cure before the board reached the wave. You just have to drill into the heads of who applies the mask that thinner is better!

now we use Solder mask from peters.de but it too thick so we can't use process for screen epoxy

All, We have to run these boards thru Reflow then Wave. The mask looks like it has gel'd after reflow and then jsut burns after wave. Alan...

Blob some peelable solder mask on the LEDs. They'll hold thru wave.

I would suggest you try the acrypeel 2000 peelable mask from Interflux USA. Try this link for more info http://www.interfluxusa.com/Datasheets/Acrypeel2000.htm Good Luck

The holes on the circuit board which need to be covered are very small and it is more time consuming to cut to size and place with kapton tape. Thanks for the feedback.

Consider: * Changing your temporary solder resist [TSR] to a light cure. * Contracting with your board fabricator to apply the TSR. * Gaining better thickness control of your application process by silk screening the current TSR. * Forcing more air c

Amejia, If your application is strictly conformal coating and no heat is applied to the board, the product seal and peel would be the solution see link http://www.interfluxusa.com/misc.html This product solidifies immediately on cooling The only dra

Hi Patrick, I checked out the link and I think that just might be crazy enough to work. I'll have to research it a little bit more, but I think this would be the answer. Thanks a lot to everyone for all your help and suggestions.
