Hi everybody,

just ran into my first OSP coated board.

I've checked the archives, but the oppinions seem to be divided. So I
decided to raise the questions again:

how's the shelf life for OSP boards?
will the solderability degrade more than for HASL due to bare handed
manipulation?
how touchy OSP is with no-clean, so lighter fluxes?
it is a double sided assembly, with SMT and TH components on each side. Will
the boards be good for two reflows and two selective soldering operations?

Thanks for any help,
Ioan
