If spacing is not to small you could use a temporary peelable mask used in wave soldering. Or have your PCB manufacturer screenprint a peelable mask on for you. These suggestions are only if the mask needs to be removed, If not permanent solder mask

SMT adhesive works great! We actually cut stencils to print adhesive in between areas that always solder short over wave. It's the perfect solder resist. Change a customers board? I thought only Satin could do that?

We wave [primary side] and reflow crystals for oscillators without fear. We hand solder liquid crystal displays. Consider checking with the crystal fabricator and using their guidelines.

Are you running a water soluble process? There may have been an instance where a certain Xtal could not be washed. We have always waved Xtals like Dave without fear.

Also concider if you will be going lead free in the future as conversion can be a added expense. You may think about learning and going lead free from the begnining as the indestry is rapidly moving in this direction.

Hi Hoss, Thanks for your reply. Yes I am seeing the flux flood over to the top surface of my board, so to an extent I am not concerned with the fluxer. I believ that the foam fluxer is functioning adequately.

Can anyone recomend tools for cleaning & adjusting of a lead free solder pot? I know it's not recomended to use the standard stainless tools. I was told by an FSE to use wood (kitchen) tools. Thanks
