It�s funny, the third question on this topic via "Georgia tech..." in the last few weeks. Seems on that particular forum people with the same interests are gathering or maybe they are working all on the problem without knowing about each other.
Daniel: Think of your drying process and your parameters and than consider normal wavesolder conditions. What temperatures will your suspected part see while wavesoldering a) during preheat b) while maybe staying in the hot solder for 3-4sec ? I guess it�s still in the range of your favorite drying temperature (haven�t measured it myself yet), but to be sure take a measurement and you will know how to handle those boards. We haven�t taken any special precautions but that doesn�t mean anything besides the fact that delamination and popcorn related failures didn�t occru to us yet.
Good luck Wolfgang
