devices, glob-topped devices, etc), as well as the Decap (which has a Very
pungent odor).  I perfer the UP SG

Subject: [TN] Removing epoxy encapsulation


Hi ya'll!

Could anybody tell me what kind of chemical/solvent I could use to remove
epoxy encapsulation material? What I'm trying to do is look at the wire
bonds
on some failed tunnel diodes...

Thanks!
