Sorry if my message of last night was not very clear, but what can you
expect at 2:30 am. 

The issue is with entek coating not the gold plating. The panels have
selective gold plating on some pads and the others have entek. The problem
is that when the panels are first gold plated( electrolydicly ), then S/M 
the entek pads are fine. However, when the panels are first S/M and then
gold plated the entek pads are tarnished around the edges. Does anyone have
experience with this problem.

Thanks,

PS Before anyone makes the comment, the boards are enticed after all the
processes have been completed.
