Good idea, pick the most difficult of your PCB and watch the final result. If you can, go to each company and watch the machine how it coats your board. You'll see what is the most suitable for you.

I'd also say to be very careful about contamination espacialy with boots. Some companies use oily products on there boots so be careful.

I am using Silicone based boots with SR coating with good results. I Use Vinyl and Rubber boots with AR and UR coatings.

Amol, good call there. Silicone mask and silicone coatings are friendly with each other. This was 1995, and at the time, there were no silicone boots available on the market.

Keep in mind; if you're building warped or twisted boards, do NOT use the Grid-lok system on them, as they tend to conform to the bend or twist of the underside of the PCB, so it will not flatten or straighten out much at all when it's brought to the

We use an Asymtek 740 inline and are very happy with it so far after a year and a half or so. Programming is easy and no mechanical/software issues to date... JD

The USI Prism, http://www.ultraspray.com , machine has self-cleaning function. When you contact them ask about this option.

Chunks, After how many pages of non-conformance does the boss tell you that you really don't have to make it?

Hose and/or Dave, Please elaborate of how the silicone can affect soldering. Material itself or fumes?

NASA is concerned about outgassing in high-vacuum environments. They select materials to minimize outgassing. http://outgassing.nasa.gov/og_desc.html
