It's a excellent idea to monitor the cleanliness of your components and soldering process. Consider running a spare board.

We have considered running a spare board with each job as a possible solution, however due to the cost of the assembly, this would not be preferred.

We run a few standard recipes, because we don't like waiting for and determining if our oven has stabalized after dialing-in a new recipe.

You should be fine. A fifteen percent reduction of these pads will probably improve reliability, depending on spacing of course.

Does anyone know of a good web site that lists general package dimensions for various SMT device sizes, like 1206, etc.?

actually, component sellers will have their own respective catalogue with all the available sizes used in their industrial business. Try your local "Rohm/Murata" sales-rep. for starters in the realm of chip components.

There's nothing wrong doing about adding a dessicant. You'll need to: * Seal the bag. [you may end-up needing a moisture barrier bag] * Select a dessicant packaging that is ESD dissipative.

Has anybody ever done a double-sided reflow with a Altera 240-pin RQFP on the bottom? The part has a heatsink in the top and weighs just over a half-ounce... Thanks in advance! -Steve Gregory-

Can anyone advise whether it is fine to use "stretch film" to shrink wrap ESD-safe box that contains work-in-progress PCB? If no, what is the consequences? Please advise.

Why not record your field meter reading from inside the box, while you're flex wrapping the box?
