Don't have any experience with micro-blasting, but wouldn't it be difficult
to remove the coating from the entire board, in-between component leads?  If
someone is doing this, how's it working?  What media, what equipment?

        Would microabrasive blasting of the coating be an alternative to
chemical stripping?
