I am looking for some feedback.  We use Techform Liquid solder mask (peel
able) to cover PTH on our PCA's.
We also use this Mask as a "Tacking" mechanism to hold Loose Loaded
(unsecured/not bent) components on the top side of the board.  After the
mask dries, we take it off the board.  This is a Non-Value added activity
that I would like to eliminate.  I want to leave the dried masking on the
board.
My question is.  Can I leave it on the board?  Will it affect the long term
function of the board?  Do any of you use this, or do this?  Any input is
appreciated.
Thanks
Marie
