| I have gold fingers that I want to mask when running over the wave without pallets. They're on the leading edge of the board. I recall seeing rubber boots that slid onto the fingers to mask them. Pop 'em on before the wave; pop' em off after and

You're correct. It is curious. Possible angles to look at are: 1 WS609 loves moisture in the air. In high humidity shops, this paste hakes-on liquid. If this is the case, you should also see slumping, resulting in fine pitch bridging, and solder

Does anyone else have the 'form tips' pop up over and over and over and over.. well you get the idea, after looking at each form entry. This has happened many times over the last several weeks. It does this to me after I obediently check the 'don't
