Graham,
You really must see someone about your delusions over UV cured coatings,
which are successfully used to coat many thousands of pcb's each year. I
know someone who has a nice sofa you can stretch out on whilst you tell him
all about it.... <g>
Suitability for UV has nothing to do with 3D v. 2D, more to do with the
complexity of the assembly geometry and the application methodology. These
will determine if a secondary cure mechanism is needed for the application.
In many instances (and with some of our customers), full cure is achieved
just with light.
Regards,
Peter

You would be better to go with a conventional coating. UV is not ideal for
3D objects - works great in 2D, cos you don't have to bend light! :-)
I cannot remember what the operating environment was for your circuit - if
you would care to repeat, I can recommend something - however, I am sure
that a one part AR or UR coating from a reliable supplier will give you the
best overall results - process and operating environment.

Hello,
Thanks in advance if you have taken the time to read this!
#1- Im trying different materials in a spray application. Both are cured
using UV. One material does a "secondary cure" w/ moisture. This is cool
because after 100 hours after UV cure, all material is fully cured.
The other material Im trying uses HEAT for a secondary cure, or, if
shodowed during UV cure, the material wont cure and never will. Obviously I
dont want the stuff dripping or running anywhere, but being new to this
wonderful process, just dont feel good about leaving uncured material on a
product for it's entire life. Iv been told that you can "test" the product
to see if the uncured material is causing a problem but Im not sure what
type of test that would consist of. Any insight?
#2- Has anyone out there ever installed refelctive metal plates in their UV
oven to limit shadowing?
Thanks so much,
Mike Manwell
