Removing carbon finish from pcbs | 6 June, 2017

Hi im new to the forum. We have product where we have applied a carbon finish. I want to remove the carbon to reapply but cant seem to find a solution. Its baked onto solder mask. Any ideas? I was hoping something non abrasive to save scratching the solder mask, maybe a solvent or chemical.

I'd be surprised if you find a non-destructive method of removing carbon ink. Your best bet is following the recommendations of your ink supplier.

Carbon ins has very strong resistance to acid and alkali, not easy to remove, maybe return your boards to PCB supplier? they may have solution.

By the way that you stated your question, I assume that you want to do something different with the carbon inked pads. If that's incorrect, instead of removing your carbon ink, considering printing an insulating layer over the ink.
