Hi Arjun,

It seems that the amount of flux deposited or the evenness across the
board, is likely to be the causes for the solder-short as you have mentioned
that it is better with the foam fluxer. 

Try using fax paper and paste it on a glass slide or wave-level gauge, 
allow the waxy side of the fax paper to face against the spray. Turn off the
preheat & the wave and pass the glass thru' the machine. Check the uniformity 
and also the coverage. It may due to the spray-fluxer stops spraying slightly
earlier before the board is completely travelled thru' the spray-head or 
uneven application on the board.

The solder balls formation  may due to insufficient pre-heat, or improper
wave-hgt adjustment..

Good Luck ..

Poh
