Steve,
I suggest that you use oxygen plasma to decap plastic parts.  Works well.

Mornin' All!!

Been rather quiet on the list over the past week or so, hadn't it? Either
means everybody is on vacation, or everybody is so busy building stuff
without problems that they don't have any spare time...like to wish that
was the case.

Anyway, about Plastic IC Decapsulation, is that something I could do
myself? If so, what sort of chemicals would I use? Or is this something
better left to be done by the people who do that for a living, like failure
analysis labs?

Thanks!
