I have seen similar things like this before with Solder Resist redepositig back on the pads, this is a clear residue very hard to see. Solder resist will obviously resist solder adhering to it. If you rework the boards then the heat of the iron will

Q: The question I have is do they wet in wave solder, and if they do, why does it matter what happens to them in reflow? A: Yes, but somebody here don't agree with me that the glued part need help from wave to get the good wetting. They are wrong

We're currently experiencing a spate of solder not wetting to pads of PCBs, and it's becoming more aggravating on a daily basis. At this point, we're running out of ideas. I've searched the Fine Archives for information, and, so far, haven't found
