Doug,

I believe that some suppliers of this kind of equipment have dealt
successfully with this issue (conductive media, ionisation, etc). See
http://www.ccrco.com, for example.

Regards,
Peter

Subject: Re: [TN] Conformal Coating


Mike Sewell Suggests:   Would microabrasive blasting of the coating be an
alternative to chemical stripping?

*Just be aware that microabrasive blasting generates a hell of a static
charge.  Enough to kill a static sensitive component.  I think the EMPF did
some work in microabrasion methods relative to ESD in the late 80s early
90s.  Check with the librarian at www.empf.org.
