Rick,

Be careful. Measling can be a source of reliability problem when it bridges two
conductors. Measling becomes 'A' type defect ( Critical function -causing rejection)
when two conductors of different polarity are bridges. If glass fibers become visible
in a measled spot, that is also a cause for concern.

Send  pictures of measled board for further discussion if you like.
