Can anyone recommend ways of reducing damage to solder masks ... a new wick perhaps. I find that using standard wicks the imposed damage is un-acceptable. Also any good links on the subject of bga rework would be really appreciated in earnest ...

Good Day Everyone, I have a BGA rework that has some chipped/damaged solder mask that will need to be repaired prior to BGA replacement. I was wondering what materials are being used in the industry for this type of application. Any help would be g
