What is the surface finish? HASL, Entek? what? If HASL, ask your fab supplier for recommendations, maybe even rerun the boards through the HASL process. The fab house would have to strip off the old coating and reapply. Just a thought, depends on y

Here's part of what I could read: "We evaluated the influence of Lift-off (Fillet-lifting) and the influence of thermal fatigue, in this case on combination between various terminal platings of electronic components and Pb-free solder, Sn-37Pb solde
