| I am looking for a product to repair PCB mask (seal exposed copper) and fill Gouges in pcbs, any suggestions? Mike, They sell all sorts of reparation kits for this type of problem. Liquid mask can come in many forms. The easiest to use is probabl

The problem with super glue is that is has a cyanide base that turns into a toxic gas and evaporates when heated. See IPC-7095. Via's should be fully plugged with solder mask at the fab house. If your PCB designers are not up to speed on IPC requi

You have two options 1. Get some real solder mask form board supplier (not touchup pens) and repaint the trace and heat cure. 2. Fill the via with solder before reflowing new part, this usually works but sometimes it doesn't. We use Method 1 Russ

Years ago, we used a specialty-marking pen like you describe. The pen has: * �Fluxmarker 6135 W BELMONT CHICAGO IL 60634 / 1-312-889-8323 Illinois / All other states Toll Free 1-800-621-0080 bla bla bla � marked on the barrel. A quick search with G

The neat and simple solution is indeed a laser. However I have seen other quirky ways to denote a build revision. These include a resistor with a value marking that matches the build revision e.g a 1K marked 102 could indicate assembly 1.02. Another

Dennis, I've seen this before, and in our case we didn't need to seal the edges because there was no concern of shorting or anything in the end product, this is a choice you will have to make, Does your end product have any protrusions or mounting h

We usually get some mask material from our board house. It cures with heat so it works really well in our applications. Be wary of the "overcoat pens" they don't seem to hold up under heat and thre solder will flow right underneath it during BGA a

I'm currently working on bringing a manual coating process/workcenter online and my QA team is giving me some grief. For background, we're using Humiseal 1B31 thinned with thinner 521, mixed at 1:1 by volume. Spraying through a Binks HVLP with 10 P
