Hey Jay and All,

What kind of boards do you make?

Check out Humiseal's website http://www.thomasregister.com/humiseal or give
them a call (718) 932 - 0800.  They are in New York.

I'm not sure anyone would do conformal coating unless they absolutely have
to.
Once you start killing boards because the conformal coating's bad, somebody
will ask, 'Why are we doing this if we don't have too?'

Hans

PS.  Gas is over a buck down here now.
