For example, if you have any gold migration, you will sometimes get a grainy finish. In addition, you may want to also post the high temp alloy you are using such as Sn05Pb93.5Ag1.5. Finally, what type of flux is being used( i.e. No-clean, water soluble, etc. ) With more info, I'm sure someone with experience can offer you some suggestions.
