Goh,

First, read IPC thoroughly again, measling is actually not cause for
rejection according to IPC-A-600/IPC 6012; however, it is indicitive of a
process problem.

If you are indeed seeing measling it could be due to entrapped moisture in
the board, you might try baking the board further prior to soldering.

Yes, the bare board should withstand temperatures required even to hand
solder,p rovided your soldering personnel are following the right methods,
if they use a pre-heater, have it set too high, or level the soldering iron
in contact with the board too long you may find that to be the cause, but I
believe you would see other laminate or solder mask damage first? Do you see
those conditions?

My recommendation is to bake the boards in accordance with your board
suppliers guidelines prior to performing ANY soldering.

Good luck
