Hi If you mean your PCB stayed in the Reflow oven more than the reflow time required for the solder paste specs then I suggest to throw away the board because it would lead over heated solder joints all over the board. Think what could happen to an

Solder mask requirements: * IPC-6012 and IPC-SM-840 contain detailed specifications and information regarding solder mask requirements. * IPC-A-600 defines acceptability of printed boards [analog of A-610 for board assemblies]. Why can't you use A-6

It's possible that there is limited application of "3M™ XYZ-Axis Electrically Conductive Adhesive Transfer Tape 9719" similar to your intended use. What do 3M™ application types say? Certainly high temperature soldering would make a mess of a piezoc
