If, after all the good advice already given, the engineer insists on following his wacky design, you may still be able to influence some success. First you have the fab house plug the via holes with solder then you make sure that the bottom side of

If the solder balls are next to your discretes, you should consider a homeplate design on you stencil apertures. THe only other time we have seen soler balls is due to the raw card. If the vias are not plugged by the solder mask, solder and air can g

Sand is not a great conductor, compared to copper. Never heard of using the stuff on RF boards. Our board fabricator uses Dupont CP100, now CP101, [or something like that cuse who's going to check?] when plugging via on cheap boards. Your board fa

We do it all the time for air pressure reasons. Use a 6 mil stencil, print right on the via, aperture opening 100% same size as the via, on an 0.063" thick board. Doesn't leave a bulge and plugs the air. You can have your board house do this for y

Yes, we have try different Flux, probes. etc... also not to paste vs Paste Via, but still we have ~3% NDF due to contact issue. I am looking for selective pasting with less flux dispenser.Any idea or anyone has used? What about plug via before pas

How about plugging the via with a temporary solder mask or coving them with thermal tape?

Stencil thickness is 4 mil. Via's are plugging from bottom. Gas may be developed under the component? Take Reflow Ovens Thermal Profiling changes? In your opinion?

Kurt: Lots of choices, not many of them good, yano. 1 So LPI has taken over the market pretty nearly 100%, but it won't "tent" reliably, because it is not very viscous when applied and drops into the hole. So then, tenting/plugging with LPI is bad
