Did the board fabricator forget to apply the nickel undercoat?

It's happened perviously. If that happens, there is a widespread solderabily issue, not just on selected pads.

Ammonia based masks can create solderability issues after they are removed. You can get non-ammonia based latex mask material but down side is slower cure and cost a little more as they have higher levels of latex etc

Unfortunately I have no information about the metal layers and the processes. I only see the effect. Is it possible or common that the nickel undercoat could have been forgotten?

We do a conformal coating for a customer with copper-nickel-gold pads on his board. The pads are masked prior to coating with a standard gel, containing ammonia. After thousands of boards, being processed like this, now the gold pads seem to be less

I tried these and the operators didn't like them. The palm dip didn't slide well on tape and the finger tips were a bit bulky.

Our employees use a knit style ESD glove when masking boards to prevent oils. They snag alot and bend leads and cause other problems. I have tried dipped palm but they are bulky and dont offer "feel". I tried a silky type but they had a huge seam
