Dear Technetters,

I have seen the most weird problem in my 7 years in PCBA manufacturing
environment. Solder is getting between the epoxy and component and/or
between fab and epoxy thus shorting it out across terminations of SMT caps.

Does any one has seen similar problem? Any resolution? Our regular process
is epoxy application thr' stencil, component loading, curing and then hand
load & wave.

Any help or leads will be highly appreciated.
