Hello:

I am a PCB designer that also get PCB's fabricated.  We have been approached 
by one of our vendors about calling out Entek coating instead of HASL.  Our 
customers range from soldering the parts on at their bench to sending them 
out to be stuffed.  My question is:  What are the pros and cons when 
assembling thru-hole and SMT parts with this Entek coating on the board?

Thanks in advance.
