Ain't that the truth!! In a previous life, we did a (somewhat brief) cost analysis of class three rework being performed on class two boards. When we realized how much time/money we were losing due to unnecessary rework, we decided to start taking

Diego, the first question you have to answer is "Is the paste volume too much in real?" How does your paste look? To check that, I would say you measure bare board with your SPI and see if your SMT pads show you zero, or may be not? If your value fo
