@tommyg_fla According to the TDS the recommended coating thickness for Humiseal 1B31 is only 1-3 mils so if I had to guess I would say your issue might be that you're re-coating over the first pass too soon. All the solvent hasn't evaporated and the

Q1.Does anyone know a way to verify the amount of OSP coating on a board? A1. There is no specification. Thickness is difficult to measure. Thickness is product related. There are at least six major suppliers. Years ago, here on SMTnet, J Medernach s

Josh: Do you measure the thickness of the coupon prior to coating or do you peal the coating and measure that?

We know nothing of DeFelsko, but do understand how they distinguish between the solder mask and the conformal coat. DeFelsko manufactures hand-held, non-destructive coating thickness gages that are ideal for measuring the dry film thickness of confo

It's it curious that NASA requires 'Thickness measurements shall be made with a wet film thickness gauge or equivalent tool' yet specifies 'cured thickness' as a measure. Why do you recon they do that?

How do you intend to maintain uniform coating thickness using a paint gun, besides ensuring coating consistency? What is the application you are looking at?

We just measure the coupon before and after. We are always btw .002" - .003" acrylic. No auditor will say a word if you are doing this much control. Unless its NASA I suppose..... we've never had a problem with any of the avionics guys doing this tho

We assume by "stencil tension" you mean a measurement of how securely [or how tauntly] the stencil foil is held in the stencil frame. If so, we do not know how you would go about making your "30 ~ 50 N/cm" limit measurement when verifying conformanc

We are experiencing poor wetting on various components placed on a PCB with En-Tek coating. Is anyone else experiencing simular problems ? We have the following questions: 1. How can the thickness of the En-tek coating be measured? 2. Is En-tek vol

Profile should have a longer cool soak. Verify as was mentioned all pin/fixture support through out the entire process. Print, Place, pre reflow hand load, post reflow, carriers, ICT, Depanel and FCT. Conformal Coated or Potted? Mylars work well for
